Engine Reconditioning Perth
Breathe New Life Into Your Engine
Engine reconditioning is a complete rebuild of your engine’s internals. It’s designed to fix wear and tear, improve performance, and prevent future failures — especially in high-mileage 4WDs, tow vehicles, or those used off-road. At Oceans Automotive, we rebuild engines with care and precision, using quality components and time-tested processes to get your vehicle back to reliable condition.
This isn’t a quick patch job. It’s a full, professional overhaul for drivers who want to keep their vehicle running strong for years to come.
The Process
Engine reconditioning is a meticulous, hands-on job that involves stripping, inspecting, machining, and rebuilding your engine from the ground up. At Oceans Automotive, we follow a proven process to ensure every reconditioned engine leaves our workshop running like new.
Initial Inspection & Compression Testing
We begin with a full mechanical inspection and compression test to assess your engine’s condition and confirm whether reconditioning is the best option. We also check for oil contamination, overheating history, and signs of internal wear or failure.
Engine Removal & Strip Down
Once approved, we remove the engine from your vehicle and begin disassembly. Every component is carefully labelled, assessed, and cleaned to prepare it for inspection. This includes the cylinder head, crankshaft, pistons, camshaft, bearings, and gaskets.
Component Cleaning & Precision Machining
All major parts are thoroughly cleaned using chemical baths and abrasives, then sent for machining as required. This may include cylinder honing, crankshaft grinding, head resurfacing, valve lapping, and block decking to restore proper tolerances and sealing surfaces.
Rebuild with Quality Parts
We rebuild your engine using quality components — including new bearings, piston rings, gaskets, seals, timing gear, and any parts that failed inspection. Each internal component is installed to spec using precision tools and proper torque sequences.
Reinstallation & Road Testing
The reconditioned engine is reinstalled into your 4WD with new filters and fluids. Once in, we run it through a full break-in procedure and road-test the vehicle, monitoring temperature, oil pressure, throttle response, and idle quality.
Final Inspection & Report
After testing, we double-check all components, check for leaks or noise, and confirm everything is performing as it should. You’ll receive a detailed rundown of what was done, including any future maintenance advice to keep your engine running strong.
