What is Engine Reconditioning?

If your car's engine is blowing smoke, making unusual noises, or feels sluggish and unresponsive, it may not need a costly replacement so reconditioning could be the smarter choice.

Engine reconditioning is the process of carefully inspecting, cleaning, and restoring a used engine so it performs like new. Worn or damaged parts are repaired or replaced, ensuring the engine regains its original efficiency, reliability, and power.

At Engines Plus, we have built a strong reputation in Melbourne for our expertise, advanced workshop facilities, and exceptional customer service. Choosing reconditioning not only saves money compared to a full replacement but also extends the life of your vehicle.

 


 

What Does a Reconditioned Engine Mean?

A reconditioned engine is one that has been fully dismantled, inspected, and rebuilt with new or re-machined parts wherever necessary. Critical components such as bearings, gaskets, and seals are replaced, while the engine is reassembled to precise factory specifications.

When done correctly, a reconditioned engine delivers performance, economy, and reliability comparable to a brand-new engine at a fraction of the cost.

Whether you need engine assembly, precision balancing, or component machining, our workshop is equipped with the latest tools to handle every stage of the process.

 


 

The Engine Reconditioning Process

Every engine is different, and understanding its design is crucial for achieving the highest-quality results. Our reconditioning process typically includes:

  1. Thorough Cleaning : All engine parts are cleaned using chemical baths to remove oil, grime, and metal debris. This step is vital to prevent future damage caused by hidden contaminants.

  2. Detailed Inspection : Each component is measured, tested, and checked for wear, cracks, or distortion.

  3. Repair & Machining : Components are re-machined, repaired, or replaced to restore correct tolerances and functionality.

  4. Reassembly & Testing : The engine is carefully rebuilt and tested to ensure smooth operation and long-term durability.

 


 

Cylinder Head Diagnosis & Repair

The cylinder head is disassembled, chemically cleaned, and thoroughly inspected for cracks, valve wear, and spring pressure. Using precision testing equipment, we check hardness, straightness, and pressure to guarantee leak-free performance before reassembly.

 


 

Crankshaft Diagnosis & Repair

A damaged crankshaft often causes loud knocking noises. To repair it, we carefully grind the shaft to remove wear, then fit new oversize bearings. Advanced tools such as Magnaflux and black-light inspection detect even the smallest hidden cracks, ensuring the crankshaft is safe and reliable.


 

Connecting Rod (Conrod) Diagnosis & Repair

Conrods are inspected with magnetic particle testing and checked for bends or twists. Straightening and precision machining are performed where required to prevent future failures and ensure engine balance.


 

Engine Block Diagnosis & Repair

Engine block problems can arise from overheating, low oil pressure, mechanical failure, or general wear over time. Cracks, warping, or pressure loss are carefully diagnosed and repaired to restore full structural strength and performance.
