Innovation In Engine Sealing

C-K Technologies, LLC, based in Ellisville, delivers specialized engineering consulting in piston and cylinder design, advanced engine sealing, and cylinder kit modeling. We integrate PROMPT, SEE 3D, BEE 3D, and custom precision gaging to convert dimensional and surface data into traceable, quantitative engineering decisions.

Discover The Engineering Behind CKT

Learn how Harold E. McCormick, PE, brings more than 27 years of focused sealing experience to C-K Technologies, steering a research-driven practice built on PROMPT cylinder kit modeling, advanced 3D metrology (SEE 3D, BEE 3D), SBIR-based R&D, and PE-, ASME-, and SAE-aligned best practices in engine sealing systems.

Data-Driven Optimization

We begin with precision measurement using CKE gages, SEE 3D surface analysis, and BEE 3D bore geometry to capture dimensional and finish data. These measurements feed PROMPT cylinder kit models that evaluate more than 40 key variables and predict blowby and oil control behavior. We then interpret the combined results, recommend specific design or process changes, and, when required, design custom gages or fixtures to validate and sustain the improvements.

Engineering Consulting

Expert technical guidance and analytical support resolving severe oil consumption, blowby, and complex internal powertrain component wear.


Kit Modeling

Proprietary PROMPT simulation analyzing over forty dimensional variables to optimize engine component sealing performance.


Inspection Testing

Bespoke physical gaging and sub-2-micron 3D surface imaging providing fully traceable, decision-ready engineering component validation data.


Engine Instrumentation Suite

We manufacture laboratory-grade hardware and predictive software to optimize powertrain sealing. From our proprietary PROMPT simulation suite to sub-2-micron 3D metrology gages and physical LS-series wear test fixtures, our tools provide engine builders with traceable, decision-ready data that eliminates costly late-stage development failures.

Software Analytics

Proprietary Windows-based simulation mapping secondary engine inertia forces and shifting dynamic piston accurately.

Metrology Tools

Custom ring flatness and circumference light tightness instrumentation resolving subtle manufacturing deviations early.

Engine Components

Patented low-cost electronic sensors delivering reliable automatic low-oil shutoff protection under high-tilt conditions.
