Removal and Inspection

To begin the rebuild, all engine parts will be disassembled and cleaned. Following a thorough cleaning, all parts will be closely checked for signs of degradation. Then, parts that need machining will be prepared for that process.

Machining

Among the machining tasks that may be completed as needed are: boring/honing the engine block, crankshaft grinding, and micropolishing chamfer oil passages and bearing surfaces. If necessary, valve seals will be recut and the technician will resurface cylinder heads. Overall, machining will return parts to their former smoothness.

Reassembly

During engine reassembly, it’s standard for new main and rod bearings to be installed. Other new parts typically include: timing belt, seals, and gaskets.

Testing

Once the engine has been completely reassembled, the technician will test it for proper oil and compression. The technician will also check for any leakage and make sure any such issues are fully taken care of. Testing and retesting will be done until it is certain that the engine is operating flawlessly.

Reinstallation

To complete the process, the engine will be installed in the vehicle, at which point there will be final testing to ensure smooth operation. Then, you’ll be ready to roll. With basic maintenance, your rebuilt engine will run excellently for many thousands of miles to come.
