Engine Overhaul Service

Your engine is the heart of your vehicle. If you’re experiencing performance issues, odd noises, or excessive fuel consumption, it might be time for an engine overhaul. 

At Mobile Mechanic Oakland, we provide expert engine overhaul services right at your doorstep—whether you’re dealing with a car, truck, or any other vehicle. 

Our goal is to restore your engine’s power, improve fuel efficiency, and give your vehicle a fresh start.

An engine overhaul isn’t always necessary, but if you’re noticing any of these signs, it may be time to consider it:

• Loss of Power: If your vehicle feels sluggish and lacks acceleration.
• Engine Noise: Knocking, pinging, or other unusual sounds coming from your internal combustion engine.
• Excessive Exhaust Smoke: Blue, black, or white smoke from the exhaust.
• Engine Overheating: Consistent overheating even after engine coolant flush.
• Oil Leaks: Visible oil leaks or consistently low engine oil levels.

If any of these issues sound familiar, it’s a sign your engine may need a rebuild, reconditioning, or other mechanic services.

Our Engine Overhaul Process

At Mobile Mechanic Oakland, we follow a thorough and methodical process for our engine overhaul service. Here’s what you can expect:

Engine Diagnostics

Before starting the overhaul, we perform a complete engine diagnostics check to assess the condition of your engine. 

This includes reviewing engine performance, identifying any damaged engine parts, and evaluating overall engine health.

Disassembly and Inspection

Once diagnostics are complete, we disassemble the engine. This allows us to inspect key components, including the engine block, cylinder heads, pistons, crankshaft, bearings, and valves.

• Engine block replacement: If the engine block is damaged or beyond repair, it will be replaced.
• Engine cylinder head replacement: We replace cylinder heads if they’re cracked or worn.
• Engine piston replacement: Old, worn pistons are replaced with new ones to ensure smooth combustion.
• Engine crankshaft replacement: If the crankshaft is damaged or out of alignment, we replace it.
• Engine bearings replacement: Bearings that are worn or damaged can cause engine noise and must be replaced.
• Engine valve replacement: Faulty valves can lead to poor performance, so we’ll replace them as needed.

Cleaning and Reconditioning

We thoroughly clean all reusable engine parts and recondition any that can be salvaged. This is part of the engine rebuild process, ensuring that your vehicle’s engine will perform like new.

Engine Reassembly and Testing

After replacing any necessary parts, we reassemble your engine and conduct a series of tests. This ensures your engine is performing efficiently before we sign off on the job. 

 You can expect better engine tuning and engine modification for enhanced performance engine output.
