Does Your Engine Need an Overhaul or Replacement?

Our truck engine overhaul services in Alabama and Florida benefit a wide range of business leaders and fleet managers who are having vehicle efficiency issues. An engine overhaul typically involves taking the motor apart and replacing or repairing vital components so it can function normally again. A replacement is necessary when the engine is already beyond repair.

What Does Overhauling an Engine Include?

Overhauling engines involves disassembling key parts and inspecting each component. Our engine overhaul process may include the inspection of specific truck components, such as:

  • Bearings: During the process, we carefully check the bearings to ensure they can effectively reduce friction between surfaces.
  • Pistons: Our team overhauls pistons to solve problems such as knocking noises, excessive exhaust smoke, and loss of power.
  • Valves: A defective valve makes it difficult to control the flow of air and fuel mixture, causing issues like misfires, reduced power, and rough idling.
  • Gaskets: Gaskets must be undamaged to resist pressure temperature fluctuations and prevent leakage when oil and coolant circulate inside the engine.
  • Oil seals: Our technicians will ensure seals can prevent the ingress of fluids and contaminants like dust, dirt, and other impurities into the truck’s engine.
  • Rings: We replace piston rings that can no longer effectively seal the combustion chamber and provide sufficient lubrication that protects the engine against wear.
