This is an area that we are quite familiar, as well as excel in.  We have spent the better part
of 20 years honing our skills, and specializing in bringing out the BEST in a 2002 - and the Tii
specifically.  Our engines not only show themselves with the best possible presentation, they
work better than when they were new based on current machining and materials science.

There are several areas of this process that require special care, understanding and experience.
We will outline these areas with you, and illustrate (with pictures) the processes and work that
makes up this special product for you.  This process also requires special tools usually found in
a professional shop.  Some of these tools are available through us, and will be illustrated
throughout this website.

•  Cylinder Head
•  Camshaft
•  Pistons
•  Crankshaft
•  Carburetors
•  Fuel Injection
•  Engine Balancing
•  Engine Block

 Below is a list of what goes into our engine rebuilds and the breakdown of parts & labor

The only parts that are used in our engine rebuilds are the engine block, crankshaft*
(as long as it measures standard), connecting rods, and cylinder head**
(after pressure testing for cracks, etc.). 

 All other parts are new.

New Parts Include:

A.     Crankshaft main bearings

B.      Crankshaft rod bearings

C.     Oil pump

D.     Oil pump chain

E.      Freeze plugs

F.      Timing chain

G.     Timing chain guide rail

H.     Timing chain tension rail

I.         Timing chain piston & spring

J.        Pistons (includes rings & pins)

K.     Valves (intake & exhaust)

L.      Valve guides (late style w/viton seals)

M.    Valve springs

N.     Cam gear

O.     Rocker arms

P.      Rocker shafts

Q.     Rocker shaft springs, washers, clips, adj. eccentrics & eccentric hardware)

R.     Camshaft

S.      (Correct) Cutting ring head gasket

T.      Paper (not cork) oil pan gasket

U.     All seals, gaskets (Elring or OEM equivalents)

V.     New hardware complete (bolts, nuts and washers)

Machine Shop Labor Performed:

A.     All rotating parts balanced – these include the crankshaft, flywheel, clutch pressure plate, pistons, connecting rods, and crankshaft pulley

B.      Crankshaft* micro-polished and oil holes chamfered additionally if necessary
(only standard crankshafts are used in our rebuilds, we NEVER grind a crank
or use oversize bearings)

C.     Connecting rods re-bushed and resized (new rod bolts and nuts used)

D.     Block is cleaned, checked, and bored for new pistons. (correct hone pattern for each specific manufacture/composition of piston ring)

E.      Block is decked (along with lower timing cover)

F.      Cylinder head pressure tested* (Late model castings are used to provide the
longevity that we require for your complete satisfaction)

G.     Valve guides installed, precision hone

H.     Valve job (precision grind)

I.         Cyl. head surfaced (minimal to make perfectly flat) along with upper timing cover

J.        Weld and surface cylinder head where mechanical fuel pump/fuel pump rod were drilled and tapped

Remainder of additional labor to complete engine:

A.   Clean and prep block for paint, paint engine block

B.    Install freeze plugs

C.   Check crank and rod bearings for clearance

D.   Assemble cylinder head

E.    Prep and paint upper & lower timing covers, rear crankshaft seal housing,
valve cover, oil filter housing

F.    Clean and prep oil pan for paint, paint oil pan

 After each and every one of these processes is completed, final assembly is performed.  The constant checking of surfaces and clearances provides the reliability that our engines are known for.
