Frequently asked questions

What makes a block rebuildable?

A known engine code, no cracks, and bores and deck surfaces within machining limits. Each core must be inspected.

Must blocks be drained?

Yes. Oil and coolant are removed before transport to prevent leaks and contamination.

What is the minimum order quantity?

It depends on the product and the lot. The minimum quantity, price and delivery terms are set out in the written quotation.
