The precision machinists at Hillcrest Camshaft Service bring over 125 years of combined, hands-on experience to their craft. Our team’s pride in workmanship, dedication to quality, and commitment to customer satisfaction have been key drivers in transforming Hillcrest from a small, family-owned business into a global leader in diesel camshaft manufacturing—and now, large crankshaft remanufacturing as well. While our crankshaft capabilities were once limited by machine size, recent advancements in our equipment have significantly expanded our capacity, allowing us to handle even the largest crankshafts with precision and efficiency.

Hillcrest Camshaft offers industry-leading CNC crankshaft and camshaft grinding using the most advanced technology available. Our state-of-the-art equipment meets or exceeds all OEM specifications and critical tolerances, ensuring exceptional precision in roundness, taper, lobing, and timing. These are the same high-quality machines used in the production of new crankshafts and camshafts, delivering consistent, repeatable results that manual machines simply cannot match. For unmatched quality and precision, trust Hillcrest Camshaft with all your crankshaft and camshaft grinding needs.

To meet our customer’s needs, we built a state of the art 20,000 sq. foot crankshaft facility. We are now able to process crankshafts up to 200” and 8,000 lbs. This includes EMD V-16 & V-20; GE V-16, Alco V-16, and more!
