Short-Blocks

Description

The short-block is the central dynamic element of the combustion engine. Its primary function is to transform a linear movement into a rotating movement in order to exploit the thrust generated by an explosion to rotate a shaft. Inside the short-block are all the necessary elements to carry out this function, namely the crankshaft, the connecting rods, the supports, the bearings and the pistons. All the remaining components of the engine are connected to the short-block: oil pump, water pump, counter-shafts, alternator etc …this makes it the true heart of the complete engine.

The refined manufacturing and care with the use of good materials and production tolerances generate what we call the quality of the product. The use of original components handled by specialists is imperative when considering the high temperatures and the great amount of mechanical force to which the short-block is exposed. Quality is crucial to ensure long-lasting and reliable engine performance.

SAILOG, commercial partner of SAITO, was established in 2006 to offer short-, long- and complete engines and to satisfy the growing requests for spare parts of European and Asian light vehicle engines. To date, we have original Hyundai and Kia short and long blocks, but an increase of the range is planned in the short-term.
