RPM Machine has been rebuilding engines at the same West Tulare Avenue address for roughly twenty-five years, and does the machine work in house rather than sending it up to Fresno or down to Bakersfield. Cylinder heads, connecting rods, crankshafts and engine blocks, for diesel, natural gas and gasoline engines, along with complete aftermarket engine and overhaul kits.

For a Valley operation the natural gas and diesel side is the part that matters. Irrigation pump engines, tractor and harvester power units, standby generator sets and Class 8 truck engines all come across the same bench. Industrial, automotive or heavy duty, it is one shop and one phone call, and the owners answer their own phones.

Daniel “Peanut” Wilson and Darrell “D-rail” Thomas run the shop day to day, with partners Brandy Wilson and Gloria Sage.
