Remanufacturing Process

1. Dismantle & Clean

The old core engine is stripped and all gaskets, oil seals, bearings, pistons & rings are discarded. The major components that are to be used are subjected to thorough cleaning processes that include a chemical dip, spray wash, abrasive cleaning and final rinsing to flush all debris.

2. Inspection of parts

All major components are inspected for wear and discarded where they do not meet specification.

3. Machining

Major components are machined to O.E drawing specification tolerances. The cylinder blocks are rebored or resleeved and finally honed for the essential cross hatch micro finish. The cylinder block is pressure tested and surface ground to correct finish. Cylinder head valve guides are checked, resized or renewed as required. The valve seats are re-cut to ensure concentricity. The head is pressure tested and the valves vacuum tested. The cylinder head face is surface ground to correct tolerance.

Crankshafts are crack detected and the journals are re-ground to the next undersize and micro-finished to fine tolerances. Camshaft profiles are reground and journals polished where specification permits. Camshaft bushes are measured or replaced as necessary.

Connecting rods are thoroughly inspected and the small end bushes replaced and re-machined to size (if fitted). Valve faces and stems are remachined, if suitable, otherwise replaced. Oil pumps are stripped and remanufactured as required. If the oil pump is found to be worn outside of the O.E specifications it is replaced. All rocker assemblies are completely stripped, measured and re machined or replaced.

4. Assembly

Prior to assembly, all components are thoroughly cleaned to ensure that all contamination is completely removed. The engine is re-assembled with all new pistons, rings, crankshaft bearings, gaskets, oil seals and timing chain or timing belt if applicable. All O.E torque settings are adhered to during assembly. All measuring equipment is calibrated daily to ensure complete accuracy.
