Exhaust Smoke
If you see smoke coming from your exhaust, this typically indicates a blown head gasket, a crack in the head, or a crack in the engine block. Cracks and bad gaskets allow the fluid to travel to places it shouldn’t be, leading to further damage.
Seized Engine Repairs
A variety of faults can lead to a seized engine – from a lack of oil to rusty pistons. Seized engines are often one of the toughest and therefore most expensive issues to fix due to extensive damage. Our mechanics will do their very best to disassemble, diagnose and rebuild your engine for a more competitive price than a full replacement.
Cylinder Head Work
From our Manchester based Garage, we perform all types of cylinder head work including cylinder head skimming, pressure testing and full cylinder head rebuilds. Please get in touch to discuss any problems your vehicle is having. A member of our team will be more than happy to diagnose the issues and will suggest suitable repair or replacement options.
Head Gaskets
Damaged head gaskets can cause a range of issues to your vehicle. As a bare minimum, we will remove the old gasket and cylinder head. The cylinder head and cylinder block mating surfaces are then thoroughly cleaned before a new gasket and the cylinder head can be refitted. It’s also advisable to flush the coolant system to remove any gunge that could cause a blockage. In some cases, the vehicle manufacturers insist that the cylinder head cannot be skimmed, but must be renewed. If the vehicle is old, the cost could mean the car is an insurance write-off.
Crankshaft Regrinding
Crankshaft grinding consists of removing a minute amount of finished material from the rod and main journals to rebuild the part back to OEM spec. If there are no cracks we will either complete a crankshaft polish or grind. A crankshaft will need grinding should the crank journals get out of round, tapered or scored as the oil film will not form properly. Our expert technicians will regrind your crankshaft with extreme precision to ensure your vehicle continues to run smoothly.
Cylinder Reboring
Engine cylinders are subject to wear and stress, and over time they become worn or damaged to the point where the piston rings are unable to form a good seal. As a result, higher oil consumption, lower efficiency and deteriorating performance ensue. In addition, excessive wear poses the risk of various other issues, such as broken piston rings. Consequently, it is important to ensure cylinder bores stay within recommended diameters and in good condition.
Engine Rebuild
During its operation, your engine endures a lot of stress and often develops faults as a result. Sometimes it’s better to have it rebuilt than repaired. Our technicians aim to rebuild your engine to be as good as new, for a competitive price. The quote you receive for this work is heavily dependent on the make, model and condition of your engine, however in all cases, our mechanics will provide you with the very best service.
Engine Replacements
If we deem your engine to be beyond repair or you would like a newer model in your vehicle, our team can source and install a high-quality replacement for most of the major brands. Whether you want a like-for-like replacement or upgrade of your existing engine, we will do our best to source your desired engine and/or recommend better alternatives.
