Engine overhaul in Riyadh
Engine overhaul — carried out in our Riyadh workshop with marque-specific equipment

An overhaul is not decided on impressions. Before opening any engine we prove the need with numbers: compression, leak-down, crankcase pressure and oil condition. Once we do open it, the work becomes a matter of cleanliness, precision and measurement: every part is measured, every bolt torqued to spec and angle, and nothing is fitted "about right".

An overhaul is a decision based on measurement, not impression. We test compression and cylinder leak-down first; if it is needed we detail what will be replaced, what machined and the cost before stripping.

01

When an overhaul is genuinely the answer

Serious indicators: low compression in one or more cylinders, high oil consumption with blue smoke, excessive crankcase pressure, or a deep metallic knock tied to engine speed. Any one calls for measurement; together they usually mean internal work costs less than repeated patching. If the readings are healthy, we say so and point you to the smaller fix even when it earns us less.

02

What happens inside the overhaul

The engine comes out and is stripped completely, then parts are cleaned and inspected: the head is crack-tested and skimmed if needed, valves and seats are reworked, bores are measured for roundness and taper, the crankshaft is measured and reground if required, and bearings are selected by actual measurement rather than assumption. Gaskets, seals, pump and timing chain are replaced as a full set, because reusing an old part inside a rebuilt engine is a pointless risk.

03

First start and the running-in period

After assembly we set the timing, build oil pressure before the first start, then run the engine while monitoring temperature, pressure and live data. We road-test, re-torque what requires it, and set your running-in plan: gentle driving for the first distance and an early oil change. We explain this stage because a successful overhaul is not completed inside the workshop alone.

When an overhaul becomes the answer

An overhaul is a big call; we only suggest it once tests show partial repair won't hold.

  • 01Heavy oil consumption
  • 02Clear loss of power
  • 03Blue exhaust smoke
  • 04Internal engine noise

What the service includes

  • Full strip-down with block and head inspection

Advice from the workshop floor

Practical notes learned from cars that came through the workshop, useful even if you never visit us.

  • 1Never accept an overhaul decision without a written compression test.
  • 2Running-in is not a formality; it sets the life of the rebuilt engine.
  • 3Keep the overhaul report — it raises buyer confidence later.

From strip-down to handover

  1. 01

    Vehicle intake

    We record the symptoms, history and vehicle data.

  2. 02

    Inspection

    We measure and test before suggesting parts.

  3. 03

    Report and approval

    We explain the cause and work before starting.

  4. 04

    Work and documentation

    A specialist carries out and documents the work.

  5. 05

    Handover test

    Final checks and a road test where needed.

What reassures you before handing over your car

Clear written commitments from diagnosis to handover.

  • Warranty on completed work

    The warranty scope is stated on the invoice; if the same symptom returns during it, the car is checked without a new diagnostic fee.

  • Nothing starts without approval

    You receive the fault, parts and labour report before dismantling or replacement begins.

  • Your old parts are returned

    Replaced parts remain available until collection and are shown to you clearly.

  • A written record of every visit

    Inspection readings, work, date and mileage are recorded so the next visit is faster and more accurate.

Questions before you decide

How long does an overhaul take?+

It depends on the engine and parts availability; we give a clear estimate before starting.

How long does an engine overhaul take?+

It depends on the engine, the scope and parts availability; we give a clear timeline after teardown and measurement, not before.

Will the engine be like new?+

After a correct overhaul performance returns very close to factory level, provided the run-in period and following services are respected.
