Rebuilding an engine is no easy task — it requires precision and very high-quality control to ensure your car performs reliably; however, quality control issues can arise during the rebuilding process that can potentially lead to costly repairs and unsatisfactory engine performance. Understanding these issues and recognizing the risks involved can help you make informed decisions about engine rebuilding.
This is where we come in, at Cars & Trucks Engines 4 Less we understand that engine rebuilding is an extremely precise procedure, and we specialize just in that, so let us guide you through everything you need to know about engine rebuilding.
Engine Rebuilding 101
First, let’s talk about engine rebuilding and how it is performed.
Sometimes, rebuilding an engine rather than replacing it or splurging on a new car is the best option both financially and environmentally, as you can expand your car’s lifespan by a couple of years.
Engine rebuilding typically involves:
- Removing the engine block and disassembling it.
- Cleaning the engine components.
- Replacing damaged parts with new or refurbished parts that meet OEM standards, including piston rings, bearings, gaskets, seals, and lubricants. Major parts, such as camshafts, crankshafts, and pistons, are replaced only as necessary.
- Reconditioning the internal surfaces of the cylinders, as well as the cylinder head so that new piston rings can form a proper seal.
- Putting it all back together and reinstalling it in the vehicle.
Depending on the situation, engine rebuilding can be the smartest decision. Many car experts argue that a rebuilt engine is even better than the original because it has been cleaned, inspected, and will be very dependable, and most importantly, backed by warranties.
Common Quality Control Problems in Engine Rebuilding
Rebuilding an engine is a complex procedure that requires attention to detail and expertise; even small errors can lead to significant problems. This means that certain issues can arise if quality control isn’t taken seriously.
Here are some of the most common quality control issues:
- Wrong machining of engine components: Engine rebuilding involves moving around and replacing various critical components like cylinders, crankshafts, and pistons; if the process isn’t done precisely these components might not align correctly and can cause trouble down the line.
- Using low-quality parts: Using substandard or incompatible replacement parts can significantly impact the durability and functionality of a rebuilt engine. High-quality components are crucial for ensuring long-term reliability.
