At Regis Manufacturing, we know hitting the perfect clearance requires more than just a cutter—it requires chemistry. For the advanced engine builder, Coolants & Lubricants are liquid tools that dictate the success of a rebuild. Whether blueprinting a race block or restoring a vintage casting, your choice of fluids directly impacts surface finish and initial break-in.

Optimizing Surface Finish

Achieving the correct Ra and Rz values demands high-quality honing oil. Our specific formulations keep stones clean and free-cutting to prevent glazing. A consistent flow ensures heat dissipates immediately at the cutting edge, creating a uniform cross-hatch pattern that retains oil effectively for the life of the engine.

Thermal Stability in Grinding

Thermal expansion is the enemy of precision. Generic coolants often lead to inconsistent removal rates and microscopic surface cracking. Our specialized grinding coolants provide superior lubricity, ensuring the workpiece remains thermally stable so you can hold tenths of a thousandth with confidence.

The Critical "Wait" Phase

A freshly machined deck is prone to flash rust within minutes. We strongly advocate for the immediate application of dedicated rust preventative oil rather than standard engine oil. This creates a molecular barrier, protecting your precision surfaces from humidity and oxidation until you are ready for final assembly.

Zinc, Moly, and the First Start

The most dangerous moment in an engine's life is the first second it fires. We rely on semi-synthetic assembly lubes rich in Zinc and Moly to protect bearings and cam lobes. These high-pressure additives adhere to metal better than standard oil, preventing galling during those critical first rotations.
