Diesel Engine Rebuilds

Our Process for Rebuilding Diesel Engines

The process of rebuilding a diesel engine requires a lot of skill and knowledge, but the results are rewarding and worth the effort. We often recommend that customers consider rebuilding their engine instead of replacing it. When rebuilding a diesel engine, we disassemble the engine, inspect the components, and replace any worn parts. We also clean and inspect the fuel, lubrication, cooling and exhaust systems. If any of these systems are found to be faulty, they are repaired or replaced. Once all the components have been inspected and repaired, we then reassemble the engine and make any necessary adjustments. Once the engine is reassembled, we tune the engine and make sure that all the components are working properly. Lastly, the engine is tested to ensure peak performance and reliability. With a rebuilt diesel engine by GMK Mechanical, you can be sure to enjoy reliable and powerful performance for many years to come.
