UCF Machine Shop
UCF Machine Shop is an automotive performance engine machine shop, located in Carlisle, Pennsylvania - the Auto Show Capital of the World. We proudly serve Marine, Industrial / Agricultural, and Automotive industries. Visit Our Online Shop for engine components, including remanufactured OEM diesel cylinder heads for Powerstroke and Cummins.

Over time, wear-and-tear, improper maintenance, or a factory flaw will require work to be done on your cylinder heads. Blown gaskets, stretched head bolts. This is a process of removing worn material from the journals of a crankshaft in an effort to refurbish this expensive, yet vital component of an automotive engine.
Services
Manipulating steel, iron and aluminum to the most precise of measurements, ensuring that an automotive or agricultural engine maintains both pressure and performance under daily duress requires a very specific skill set. So when you say you're all about "precision" and "performance", you'd better have a great team in place to make that happen.
My interest in automobiles and all things mechanical began when I was very young. Growing up with six sisters, and a very curious nature, I began tinkering and fixing everything I could get my hands on. Once my family saw the advantages, I quickly became the "home maintenance guy". In 1979, I purchased an existing auto/truck repair business, which I was managing at the time.
At UCF Machine Shop, we provide quality Pennsylvania Workmanship, excellent communication and fast turnaround times so your customer can get the vehicle they love back on the road while you increase customer satisfaction. Main machining room, in our 14,000 square foot facility, located in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
Where else can you have more fun getting your hands dirty? At UCF Machine Shop, we provide a nurturing, true skill building career using the art of metal manipulation. You'll use precision machinery and technology to breakdown and/or build high performance engines which we sell all over the USA and beyond.
Precision machining with exceptional detail paid to tolerances assures a tighter mechanical seal between valves and valve seat, and fuel delivery efficiencies that exceed those of today's factory engines. This results in more horsepower, more torque, and better fuel economy. The combination of UCF Machine Shop's skilled machinists and our use of the highest quality parts will give you a stronger, better performing diesel.

Most educated shop around for 6.0l Powerstroke diesels! They know their stuff, and will get you taken care of. They have a clean shop, excellent processes, and the equipment to get it done. Shout out to Scott Diebler(Pronounced Die-Blur!); he's one of the few whose passionate about his work, and when you talk with him you can feel it. Very helpful answering questions to help out with your rebuild even if you decide to try to do some of it yourself. If your lucky you might even get a tour... For the few like me, it was so beautiful in there and organized. Not many people like me see the beauty in

I always take my early hemi race motor to UCF. They have always done impeccable work. Even when retrofitting the crank for a different style bearing, they got it exactly right the first time. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Early hemi blocks and cranks are not cheap and I wouldn't trust just anyone.

UCF supports my husbands racing wonderfully
He races big block Chrysler’s with B1 cylinder heads and it makes considerable power
UCF always works with us to solve whatever issue is at hand, and provides the needed work in a timely manner
Their service and attention to detail is hard to beat

They were able to squeeze in a cylinder head decking on a Friday on a few hours notice. They took the time to talk to me and ask some good questions about my build. Good work.

Beware! Shady business practices.
I had them build a motor, then after spending thousands of dollars I had to take it and get it dyno tuned somewhere else!
Witch cost $250.00 the so called Mgr Scott
Was very rude and would not let you talk to the owner who was building the motor.
Poor Communications!
