Engine repair

An engine is an important, but non-durable element of a car, and often the internal combustion engine fails first.
Signs that indicate an engine problem: increased fuel or oil consumption, reduced engine power, engine overheating, warning lights on the dashboard, uneven engine operation, noticeable oil leaks from the engine, extraneous noises.

Three types of engine repair:

• Current repair involves fixing a minor problem
• Medium complexity repairs involve partial disassembly of the ICE
• Engine overhaul envisages engine removal and complete disassembly

CURRENT REPAIRS

The main purpose of this repair is to restore the previous performance of the engine. In this case, disassembly of the engine is not carried out. Most often, replacement of a broken, deformed or worn part is sufficient.

Current repairs may include the following:

• Removal of solid deposits from crankcase ventilation and intake pipe;

The most complex and lengthy type of engine repair. It envisages engine removal and complete disassembly, all types of processing - grinding, honing, boring, polishing.

• Cleaning of parts from all types of contaminants;
