Spun bearing, snapped timing chain or belt, overheating or heavy oil use? We carry out full, complete engine rebuilds on petrol and diesel cars, vans and 4x4s of any make in our Northampton workshop, built to factory tolerances and tested before it goes back to you.
A rebuild brings your existing engine back to as-new condition, often for far less than a replacement engine, and you keep the engine that matches your car. We strip the engine completely, clean every part, and measure and inspect the block, crankshaft, cylinder head, bores and bearings to find out exactly what's worn and why it failed.
Worn parts are machined or replaced, and the engine is rebuilt with new bearings, pistons, rings, seals, gaskets and a full timing kit, assembled to the manufacturer's tolerances and torque settings. After the rebuild it's run in, checked for oil pressure, leaks and faults, and road tested.
Book an engine rebuildCompression, leak-down and oil pressure tests, plus a strip inspection if needed, show what failed and why.
You get a clear, itemised quote and a timescale before any rebuild work starts.

Often, yes. A used engine comes with an unknown history, while a rebuild gives you a fully inspected engine with new wearing parts. It also keeps your original engine, so there are no coding or compatibility problems.
Petrol and diesel engines in cars, vans and 4x4s of any make, including BMW, Mercedes, VW Group, Ford, Land Rover, Porsche, Peugeot, Citroën and Vauxhall.
It depends on the engine, the damage and parts availability. Most full rebuilds take one to three weeks. We'll give you a timescale with your quote and keep you updated throughout.
Usually. We strip and inspect the engine to check the valves, pistons and head, then rebuild it with a new timing kit and replacement parts where needed.
