Restoring an engine is a job of patience. Every part is cleaned, measured and replaced where needed. Here’s the process in brief.
1. Teardown and assessment
The engine is taken apart and every component inspected. Worn parts are flagged for replacement.
2. Cleaning and restoration
The block and heads are cleaned, measured and machined. Gaskets, bearings and wear parts are replaced with new ones.
3. Assembly and testing
Everything is reassembled to the correct torque and the engine is started under controlled conditions. Only then is the job done.
