Mail Order Instructions
This is the procedure for packaging and shipping your engine parts for mail-order service:- Find a strong cardboard box. Select a box that allows 4 inches of space around the engine part.
- Disassembly:
- When sending in your cylinder for an overbore kit, please leave the head and power valve assembly intact, that way there are no lost parts or moveable parts that can damage your cylinder in shipping.
- For cylinder plating repair ONLY, please remove all spare parts. Send your power valves in a separate bag so we can check for plating flashing in the power valve ports. Make sure they are well labeled or attached to the cylinder.
- The best packing material is 'bubble wrap'. Take care to pack around the fragile parts of engine parts like the bottom skirt of the cylinder, the head's water fittings, or the crankshaft's threaded ends.
- Enclose ORDER FORM. Print a Service/Repair or Big Bore Kit order form from your browser.
- Regarding payment, you can pre-pay with a personal check. You can also have your parts returned shipped by UPS COD Money Order OK, or by Visa/Master Card.
- It's best to send your parts by UPS. Remember to insure the parts for at least $500 (about $4) and get the UPS tracking number. If there is any problem, We can track your package through UPS's Internet site.
- Send engine parts to: Max Power Inc. 7841 Morrison ST. Morrisonville 53571

2/4 Stroke Cylinder Repair
A CYLINDER REPAIR COMPANY OFFERING GUARANTEED RESULTS

Max Power is the only American licensed dealer of Poeton Industries Ltd. of Gloucester England www.poeton.co.uk. They specialize in surface engineered components for Indy car and F-1 racing engines. Their cylinder plating process is available for both 2 & 4-stroke engines, and can be used for the repair of damaged cylinder walls, and for high performance tuning.
The cylinder reconditioning process that Max Power employs differs greatly from similar services offered by competitors. The competitions' process evolved from the shiny chrome business that hasn't changed since the turn of the century. The Max Power process originated in aerospace and is proven in Indy car and F-1 racing. The Max Power process uses a proprietary formulation of ceramic composite named APTICOTE 2000.
Max Power's process is computer controlled and offers many different advantages over competitors. Every cylinder is diamond finished, the port edges are polished, the gasket surfaces are lapped on a surface plate, and the cylinder is thermal shock tested for plating adhesion. Max Power's competitors don't have the machine tools or the technical expertise to offer optional services like exhaust valve service and cylinder head reconditioning. Max Power offers these services for a reasonable price, plus Max Power carries a stock of exhaust valve parts and gaskets. Max Power guarantees your reconditioned cylinder with a limited warranty for parts and labor. Max Power offers a quick turn-around mail-order service to dealers, home based mechanics, and racers.
