Why rebuild?
fudgesmart have established the formula for engine destruction, the issue lies deep within your little engine and is with your Piston Rings, your Oil Control Rings to be exact. The Oil Control Rings become “gunged up” and stop working, they are supposed to keep the bore lubricated but also “Scrape” the oil back down the bore and return it to the sump.
When this doesn’t happen the oil is moved up the bore to the combustion area.
Oil burns at a much hotter temperature than Petrol, and as a result you’ll find that your engine destroys spark plugs and eventually an exhaust valve or two too. The process of repairing one of these engines is very simple, the main components of the engine need replacement, that’s why when we rebuild an engine all of the parts below are replaced:
Piston Ring Sets (Genuine smart)
Exhaust Valves (Genuine smart)
Valve Stem Oil Seals (Genuine smart)
Head Gasket (Genuine smart)
Head Bolts (Genuine smart)
Con Rod Cap Bolts (Genuine smart)
Thermostat Gasket (Genuine smart)
Main Bearings (Genuine smart)
Spark Plugs (NGK or Champion EON)
Sump Gasket Sealant
Oil (5w50 Fully Synthetic to MB Standards)
Oil Filter (Genuine smart or OEM Quality)
Coolant
Unless you replace all of the above parts where required you’ll not eliminate the problem, there are people out there to whom a reconditioned engine is one with a burnt out valve replaced, to us, that's at best a cop out and and a bodge! we know that this goes on and have engines to prove, also, is the other company quoting to use genuine parts?
We use a professional engine builder to fully refurbish all of our cylinder heads, these are all stripped, cleaned, tested, skimmed and generally reworked where required, we do not simply lap in a replacement valve.
Why Not Replace?
Because.... the engine in your car has the service record, you can usually tell the quality of the engine and servicing regime by the general condition of the vehicle, now that engine on eBay, where did it come from? how did it fail? they can't really all have come from 20,000 mile written off cars can they? maybe, but I doubt it.
99% of the time you already have a solid base for a rebuild, as long as the bores are not scored you should be ok, if not, we have engines, I am very careful about where I source my engines from and to be honest, they usually come from one of three main dealers, any engine we offer you will have been fully stripped and rebuilt to our usual standards as a minimum.
Fuel Wash:
Please be ware of driving your car with a misfire, whilst running you are still squirting fuel into all three cylinders, the fuel effectively washes the bore of the non firing bore and you will cause damage to that bore, maybe complete destruction, that's why we, and we alone offer you a NATIONAL collection and delivery service.
