What is a four-stroke engine? These are the engines that most vehicles today are fitted with. Like the term implies, a four-stroke's pistons go through four distinct phases—suck, squeeze, bang and blow— for every operational cycle.
As far as engines go, a rebuilt one is far more desirable than a used one that's ready to put in. This is because a correctly rebuilt engine has many new parts and as such, can be counted on to be reliable. A used lump on the other hand, has old parts and may be just as worn as the one you had rebuilt.
One of the most disastrous things that can happen to any engine is when coolant mixes with oil. When this occurs, your engine loses a significant amount of power and starts smoking badly. You'll also notice that your engine's oil starts looking like coffee with a lot of cream mixed in.

How do vehicle engines work? In a nutshell, what happens when the engine gets cranked by a starter is: it begins to take in air and fuel and its electrical system begins to discharge sparks. These sparks then ignite the fuel/air mixture and the motor comes to life.
Before installing a rebuilt engine into your vehicle, it is important to inspect it thoroughly to ensure all of the accessory placements match up.

During a complete rebuild, the cylinder channels are re-bored and larger pistons installed to match the new dimensions. Additionally, bearings are smoothed and lubricated, heads resurfaced, and connecting rods are machined and gauged.

Rebuilding an engine offers several benefits. One of the benefits of rebuilding an engine is that your vehicle will be able to use the same engine longer.
Engine coolant plays a big role in how a vehicle runs. It prevents an engine from overheating in hot weather and freezing in extreme cold weather where things can go very wrong for an engine and a rebuild is needed. That's where we come in.
If your vehicle's engine locks up, it might be a good idea to have it completely stripped down and rebuilt. This is particularly true if the motor has a lot of miles on it as other worn components can also be identified and replaced.
If you catch it early, you may be able to prevent serious damage caused by coolant mixing with your engine's oil. However, while all that will need to be replaced is the head gasket (probably), getting to it is hard work and will require half of the engine to be disassembled and rebuilt.
What are some of the parts that make up an internal combustion engine? They are: camshafts, rocker arms, pushrods, valves and valve components, pistons, connecting rods, crankshaft, flywheel and bearings. During an engine rebuild, they will all be replace.
During an engine rebuild, the engine will be removed from the vehicle, torn down to its bare parts, & inspected for wear & tear. An engine rebuild is typically a last resort when it comes to engine repair. However, sometimes it can be the best move overall.
If your engine isn't producing as much power as it should, it may be suffering from a loss of compression. To know for sure, a tech can inspect the cylinders, valves and other internal components and determine if a rebuild is needed.
When performing a full rebuild on an older engine, a tech will most likely replace every bearing in the in the engine block. This is particularly true for motors that have racked up the miles as they will have suffered a lot of wear and tear.

If you inherit a classic vehicle and have plans of performing a restoration, the first thing you should have a mechanic look at is the engine. This component—especially if it's original—will add value to the project so it will be worth rebuilding.
*a numbers matching engine is the original engine that comes with a vehicle.
What do piston rings do? These components encircle the piston and form a seal against the cylinder liners. This seal prevents oil from leaking into the combustion chamber while also maintaining the compression needed for the individual pistons to generate power efficiently.
An internal combustion engine is a complicated machine that's filled with oil and has water or coolant running in and out of it. As such, its gaskets must never be compromised to prevent it from leaking and to avoid having the coolant mix with the oil.
You depend on your car daily to get you where you need to go when you need to be there. The specialists at our engine rebuilding service have the knowledge and skills to keep your vehicle in top running order.

When rebuilding an engine, its main components are machined to the correct tolerances, cleaned, and the engine reassembled. Unusable parts are replaced. Basically, you get your original engine in like-new condition.
An exhaust kit can be purchased for a motorcycle to improve the performance of the motorcycle. The engine will be able to breathe out air more efficiently.

This is 100% true.
Changing your vehicle's oil is something that should be done regularly. However, many forget this fact and are quite surprised when the engines of their cars and trucks start malfunctioning. Unfortunately, when this happens, it's usually too late as the damage has already been done.
If your vehicle's engine seizes, It will most likely need to be torn down and rebuilt. Chances are the engine ran out of oil or the cooling system failed or the timing belt snapped, all of which can cause your motor to lock up.
While you probably know that an engine has valves, have you ever wondered what they do? There are two sets of valves per cylinder, an intake set and an exhaust set. The intake valves introduce fuel and air while the exhaust set provides an exit for the exhaust gases generated. Replacing old valves is part of the rebuild process.
It is important to use caution when disconnecting the engine wiring so that it is not damaged and can reattach to the rebuilt engine.
If your truck is crucial to your business, it goes without saying that you should take very good care of it, especially if it is older and sees heavy use. Ignoring things like a smoking engine or a check engine warning all but ensures that your engine will die and leave you stranded at the most inconvenient time.

If you're having an old muscle car engine rebuilt, you may run into some trouble sourcing original parts as they may no longer be in production. However, given the popularity of these cars, some companies continue to produce replacement components that are as good or better than OEM.
One of the things that you get when you choose to have your engine rebuilt is peace of mind. Unlike a replacement engine coming from a salvage yard, you know that your engine has been reworked and fitted with new components so you can be sure that it won't suddenly quit on you.
If you start hearing knocking noises coming from your engine, it usually means that it's time for major work. However, instead of replacing the engine, you may want to consider having it rebuilt in order to preserve the originality of the vehicle and save yourself the added paperwork.

The Secret Life of Bearings: A Test Of Bearing And Oil Wear Rates
If the cylinders of your car's engine are too badly scored, your mechanic may opt to rebore them and replace the pistons with new ones that are a better fit.
There are many reasons why a vehicle’s engine needs to be rebuilt, and whatever that reason may be, it is important to have the problem addressed immediately. A small, fixable problem like leaking oil or overheating can become a permanent, irreversible problem.
One commonly asked question regarding an engine rebuild is whether or not the rebuild resets the odometer. The answer is a BIG no. It does not reset the odometer. If a technician resets an odometer manually, that technician could face legal charges.
Amen!

If your engine breaks down, one thing you can opt to do is have it pulled out and rebuilt completely. This is a much less expensive option than buying a new car or a new engine.
Engine coolant can deteriorate in time, leading to limited protection & overheating. If a car heats up quickly & overheats on a regular basis, this is a sure sign the car needs a professional diagnostic service or a rebuild. Schedule an appointment with us.
Engaging a reputable engine rebuilder to work on your engine will certainly cost you more than if you went with an inexperienced shop. However, this is the smart thing to do as you can be sure that your property will be handled correctly and that no corners will be cut during the rebuild process.
When working on an engine with broken valves, the rebuilder will want to take a close look at the top surfaces of the pistons. Any marks or gouges on them will mean there was a collision between the pistons and valves, thus pointing towards a failure of the timing belt or chain.
Engine balance does not refer to how emotionally stable the motor is, but to how well the moving parts function when the engine is running. A rebuilt engine has its balance restored to deliver a more efficient and longer-lived engine.
While it may cost a lot more than say, a junkyard engine swap, a quality engine rebuild will at least give you peace of mind. This is because you are sure that the components used are new so you won't have to worry about anything failing unexpectedly.
In order to rebuild an engine, it will have to be removed from the vehicle and completely taken apart by a competent mechanic. This will allow him or her to perform a detailed inspection that will determine how it failed and what needs to be done.
Engine failures are often caused by one root factor: heat. Whether it's a lack of oil pressure or clean oil to lubricate moving parts or a failed cooling system, most major engine failures can be traced back to situations that involve excessive heat.
When driving a vehicle with a newly rebuilt engine, more frequent oil changes are recommended initially. These recommendations include changing the oil after 100 miles and then every 1,000 miles the first few months.
While you may be familiar with engines and how they work, this doesn’t necessarily mean that you can attempt an engine rebuild. After all, there is a lot of skill involved that can only be developed through constant practice.
Four things a person should be frequently checking on their car: engine oil level, windshield washer fluid, tire pressure and condition, and lights. However, oil is the lifeblood of any vehicle. To keep an engine humming, be sure to get routine oil changes!

Typically, there are eight warning signs of an engine going bad: loss of power, decrease in gas mileage, annoying noises, check engine light on, engine stalling, odd orders, engine running after ignition is turned off, and running rough overall.
Most of an engine’s components will be reused during a rebuild, but some parts will end up in the recycling bin. High-wear items like piston rings, for instance, may need to be replaced along with water pumps, bearings, and valve seals.

After you remove the hood of your car to be able to have better access to the engine, it is recommended that the bolts be screwed back into place to lessen the chances of misplacing them.
A high-mileage engine that’s being rebuilt will probably need to have its cylinders re-bored to the next bigger piston size. This means that the motor will be making more power than it did originally, as its displacement will have increased.

An air filter that is clogged can affect the engine performance of the motorcycle, so be sure to change the air filter on a regular basis.
When rebuilding an engine, a tech will need to make sure that all the oil passages machined into the components are clear. Any blockages that are left in these galleries (as they’re known) will have to be eliminated as they will increase wear and will ultimately cause the engine to fail again.
