Engineering
We are a small engineering company located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Our experienced team and cutting-edge technology focuses on power cylinder systems for internal combustion engines (pistons, rings, cylinders, etc).
The Leadfoot Engineering team provides engineering consulting services for engine OEM’s (original equipment manufacturers), racing organizations, and other specialty engine programs for aerospace and military applications.
We design and manufacture prototype pistons for our engineering customers and are currently expanding our manufacturing capabilities to serve specialty and high performance piston markets. Our engineering background is the foundation for all of our products.
We work with best-in-class organizations with the most extreme applications to ensure that our products are proven in conditions that only the hard core user can dish out. Our experience allows us to serve the piston aftermarket with advanced engineering methodologies and OEM quality levels.
Piston Expertise
Our team has significant expertise and experience in the area of piston design, development and manufacturing. We seek out 2-stroke, 4-stroke and diesel applications with a high degree of difficulty that need the extra attention we can provide through our network of both internal and external resources.
Our designs typically can create improvements in power, durability, fuel economy, hydrocarbon emissions, and oil consumption. We can provide low volume billet machined parts and can create pistons from traditional forgings or castings. We can machine pistons from castings or forgings supplied by our customer for the case of prototype development. We have a low cost manufacturing partner for high volume applications.
