The Art and Science of Engine Remanufacturing

When an engine reaches the end of its initial lifecycle or suffers significant damage, outright replacement isn't always the most economical or sustainable option. This is where engine Remanufacturing comes into its own. Continental Engines offers a wide range of custom remanufactured engines, meticulously crafted to meet your specific needs and performance requirements. Our remanufacturing process is a testament to our commitment to quality and durability, ensuring that a remanufactured engine delivers performance comparable to, or even exceeding, that of a new unit.

A cornerstone of our remanufacturing philosophy is the exclusive use of OEM parts. By insisting on Original Equipment Manufacturer components, we guarantee the highest standards of quality, compatibility, and reliability for the final assembly. This commitment to genuine parts is paramount in ensuring the longevity and optimal performance of your remanufactured engine.

The Meticulous Rebuilt Engine Process

Our engine rebuilding process is a comprehensive, multi-stage operation designed to restore engines to their peak condition. It's a precise and detailed procedure that leaves no stone unturned:

  1. Complete Disassembly: Engines and all their component parts are meticulously taken apart.
  2. Thorough Cleaning: Every single part is thoroughly cleaned to remove all contaminants, carbon deposits, and wear debris.
  3. Careful Inspection: Each component undergoes a rigorous inspection for wear, cracks, and any signs of damage or fatigue.
  4. Component Replacement: Worn or damaged components are replaced with brand new, high-quality OEM parts. This is a critical step to ensure renewed performance and reliability.
  5. Precision Assembly: The engine is then reassembled with exacting precision, adhering to the strictest factory original engine specifications. In many cases, our rebuild process meets and even exceeds these original standards.
  6. Computer-Controlled Testing: Finished rebuilt engines undergo a comprehensive series of tests using advanced computer-controlled equipment. This ensures that every engine meets our stringent performance and reliability benchmarks before it leaves our facility.

During the inspection and replacement phase, a wide array of specific engine parts are scrutinised:

CategoryComponents Inspected & Replaced (as needed)
Bearings & SealsCamshaft bearings, Connecting rod bearings & bushings, Crankshaft main & thrust bearings, Rear & side seals
Fuel SystemFuel injection pump, Injectors
Gaskets & ConnectorsGaskets, Dowel, Cap plugs, Clamps, Hoses, O-rings, Grommets, Filters, Key pins, Seals
LubricationOil Cooler, Oil Pump & pick-up tube
Piston AssemblyPistons & rings
Air & ExhaustTransfer Tube, Turbo Charger (where applicable)
ValvetrainValves, Retainers, Retainer locks, Stem seals
Cooling SystemWater Pump, Thermostats

Additionally, other crucial components are carefully tested, inspected, evaluated, and replaced if necessary to ensure the structural integrity and optimal performance of the remanufactured unit. These include bare blocks, camshafts, crankshafts, exhaust manifolds, head castings, and intake manifolds.

Advanced Remanufactured Engine Department Operations

Our dedicated remanufactured engine department is equipped with state-of-the-art machinery and staffed by highly skilled technicians capable of performing advanced operations:

  • Block Machining: Blocks are precisely align bored to ensure perfect alignment of crankshafts.
  • Component Testing: Blocks, heads, and cranks undergo rigorous testing to identify any hidden flaws or weaknesses.
  • Cylinder Work: Cylinders are sleeved (as required), bored, and honed to achieve the ideal surface finish and dimensions for optimal piston ring seating.
  • Crankshaft & Camshaft Grinding: Crankshafts and camshafts are ground to exact Factory OE (Original Equipment) specifications, ensuring precise timing and smooth operation.
