engine rebuild

Complete powerplant refurbishment

An engine rebuild is the process of disassembling an engine, replacing worn or damaged internal components, and reassembling it to restore performance.

A rebuild typically addresses pistons, bearings, seals, and gaskets while reusing the original block and crankshaft.

Less extensive than a complete replacement, it extends an engine's life at lower cost: The mechanic recommended an engine rebuild rather than buying a new motor.
