Here is a project I have been doing at home it’s my Girlfriends GMC Acadia. The engine was burning oil because the previous owner did not change the oil enough so sludge made the oil control rings on the pistons stick causing it to burn oil so I rebuilt the engine, new pistons, one connecting rod replaced, rings, main and rod bearings, oil pump, all parts were cleaned, cylinders honed, crankshaft was polished, main & rod & head bolts replaced, every gasket and seal replaced, valve job, power steering pump (noisy), alternator, starter, heater core hose assembly, water pump (wasn’t leaking but with 160k miles it’s time), power steering return lines, spark plugs, brake master cylinder was leaking slightly into the booster so I replaced the master cylinder, fuel line was rotted so I replaced it with copper nickel line so it can’t rot again, crankshaft position sensor (it has 160k miles on it and a pain in the butt to replace so while the engine was apart I replaced it). The transmission failed that was the reason for taking the engine and transmission out in the first place so the transmission was rebuilt with new torque converter, new transmission cooler lines, new transfercase seals, new full synthetic fluid for the transfercase and the rear differential and obviously all other fluids are new. We don’t typically rebuild engines very often because the costs are typically much higher then purchasing a new, remanufactured or used engines and it takes a lot of time to do them but we do them from time to time. Here’s to another 160,000 miles! WE DO IT ALL FROM BIG TO SMALL!! 585-617-4284
