Engine overhaul

An engine overhaul is one of the most detailed and skilled services a vehicle can undergo. When an engine is worn, damaged, or has reached the point where smaller repairs are no longer enough, a complete overhaul restores its internal components so the engine can perform reliably again. At Tony’s Toys, our team handles full engine rebuilds with the precision and care needed for Cayman’s demanding driving conditions.

An overhaul begins with removing the engine from the vehicle and taking it apart piece by piece. Every major internal component is inspected, including pistons, rings, bearings, cylinders, camshafts, and the oiling system. Using precision tools such as micrometers, bore gauges, torque wrenches, and computer-aided diagnostics, we measure wear, identify damage, and determine what needs to be machined or replaced. If cylinder re-boring or resurfacing is required, we ensure it is machined to exact specifications before the engine is reassembled.

Once all worn parts are replaced, the engine is carefully rebuilt, torqued to specification, and tested. This process brings back performance, reduces oil consumption, restores compression, and helps extend the life of the vehicle for years.

Most drivers notice trouble long before a full overhaul becomes necessary. Some of the most common signs include persistent knocking or tapping noises, low oil pressure, excessive smoke from the exhaust, or a complete internal engine failure due to overheating or poor lubrication. Very high-mileage engines may also show symptoms like loss of power, poor fuel efficiency, or heavy oil consumption.

Here is a 5-star Review from one of our Happy Customers

"I called to book a long term rental and spoke with Maria, she is the best and went above and beyond. She called me back so fast, had a car ready, and even got me a lower rate! Although we've only been on the island for 2 weeks we've told 3 people about the amazing service. The car is perfect and this will be the only place we go when we are ready to buy." - Amy Zurrer

FAQs:

1. How long does an engine overhaul usually take?

It depends on parts availability and the amount of machining required. Most overhauls take several days to a week once all components are in hand.

2. Is an overhaul better than replacing the engine?

Sometimes yes. If your engine block is still in good condition, an overhaul can be more affordable than a new or used replacement.

3. What causes an engine to need a rebuild?

Low oil pressure, overheating, bearing failure, worn piston rings, high mileage, and lack of maintenance are common reasons.

4. Will my engine run like new after the overhaul?

A properly rebuilt engine restores performance, compression, oil pressure, and reliability. Many drivers experience a noticeable improvement in power and smoothness.
