Engine Rebuild

When an engine has major internal wear, knocking, or has overheated badly, a rebuild can bring it back to life for less than a full replacement. We disassemble the engine, replace worn parts like bearings, rings, gaskets, and seals, and machine the components back to spec. The result is a like-new engine with restored power and reliability.

Common causes

  • High mileage with worn bearings, rings, and pistons
  • Loss of oil pressure causing internal damage
  • Severe overheating that warped or scored parts
  • Rod knock or spun bearing from oil starvation
  • Excessive oil burning or low compression

Frequently asked questions

Is an engine rebuild cheaper than replacing the engine?

Often yes. A rebuild reuses the engine block and machines or replaces only the worn parts, which is usually less costly than a new or remanufactured engine.

How long does an engine rebuild take?

A full rebuild typically takes one to two weeks depending on parts availability and machine shop time, since the engine must be fully disassembled and inspected.

How long will a rebuilt engine last?

A properly rebuilt engine can last 100,000 miles or more, similar to a new engine, as long as it is maintained with regular oil changes.
