We've been lapping the competition for decades with our unrivaled passion for remanufactured engines.

'Close enough' does not apply to replacement engines. Engine configuration varies between vehicles, so correct identification is crucial to ensure you receive the correct product. With our experienced staff and a comprehensive cataloging system, you know you'll get the right product the first time.

Engines are carefully dismantled and cataloged for the machining process. Once the engine is dismantled, all reclaimed parts are tagged and kept as a group so they can be built back into the same engine block. This method of manufacturing ensures tight quality control and a better finished product.

"Wear" parts like pistons, rings, gaskets and bearings are discarded.

We thoroughly test reclaimed components at this stage to ensure they can be brought back to new OE specification or better. Testing includes wet magnaflux, pressure testing, dimensional measuring and preliminary testing of all surfaces.

This is where we turn old into new again, using the latest technology, cutting-edge machinery and 30+ years of engineering know-how. During this process, we take into account every available update and improvement to ensure our product functions better than new.

After our precision machining process, our parts get one more cleansing wash before assembly.

Each remanufactured engine is assembled according to our quality-management system's documented work instructions. Assembling engines from memory can cause inconsistent quality, and we here at Gearhead just won't stand for that. To make sure you only get the highest quality, we use a huge percentage of brand-new OE grade parts.

Our complete engine assemblies are fully tested using either simulated or live-run test stands. All critical engine parameters are tested at this time by our highly trained technicians. You'll even get an engine 'birth certificate' that shows you the test results! We test for the following: correct timing, correct valve train setup, compression, oil pressure, oil flow, vibration, knocking or unusual noises, variable valve-timing actuation, and fluid leaks. Finally, we pressurize the finished assembly to verify the water jacket integrity.

We ship our engines in durable, returnable, high-impact plastic shipping containers. These containers eliminate shipping damage and make core returns a breeze by providing a safe and easy way to return the core without spilling any residual liquids.
