engine overhaul
Complete motor restoration
An engine overhaul is the comprehensive disassembly, inspection, and rebuilding of an engine to restore it to working condition.
The process typically involves replacing worn components, re-machining surfaces, and reassembling to factory specifications.
The mechanic recommended a complete engine overhaul rather than piecemeal repairs.
Overhaul implies more extensive work than routine maintenance—essentially rebuilding from the inside out.
