Step 1 - Engine Arrival, Dis-assembly, Cleaning and Inspection

When we receive your engine we will take an initial payment to cover us to complete the below:

​

• Engine is completely disassembled 

• Chemical cleaning of all cast iron & aluminium parts

• All parts will be assigned to a pallet which will be where all items will be returned after any work is completed on it until everything is ready to build back together.

• All parts will then be inspected with notes taken and any parts that we recommend to be replaced will be priced and you will be contacted to discuss repair / upgrade options.

 

Once a decision has been confirmed we will request a 50% deposit of the quoted job amount up front and the remaining balance when the job is completed. (We do our best to quote accurately for all parts that are required to complete the job however we may come across some parts that require to be replaced that were not on the original quote. All customers will be notified in this instance to make them aware of potential additional costs.)
