Straight answers to the questions we hear most, so you know exactly what to expect before you book.
Engine rebuilding involves dismantling an engine, inspecting its internal components and repairing or replacing worn or damaged parts before carefully reassembling the engine. The aim is to restore engine performance, reliability and service life.
Yes. A blown head gasket can sometimes cause damage to other engine components. Our mechanics can inspect the engine and determine the extent of the damage before recommending the appropriate repairs or rebuilding work.
A seized engine requires a detailed inspection to determine what caused it to seize and how much internal damage has occurred. Depending on the condition of the components, an engine rebuild may be possible.
Crankshaft regrinding involves accurately machining the crankshaft journals to restore the correct surface and dimensions when they have become worn or damaged. This can be an important part of an engine rebuild.
Engine block reboring restores worn or damaged cylinder bores to the required dimensions, while skimming involves machining a surface to restore it to the correct level and finish. Both processes may be required during an engine rebuild depending on the condition of the engine.
