Today’s engines are extremely durable, and last much longer than their forebears, but anything mechanical eventually wears out. If your engine is consuming oil because of worn rings or valve guides, down on power because of poor ring and valve seal and worn cam lobes, or has low oil pressure, a complete overhaul may be in order. You can choose to go with a remanufactured engine, or restore your existing power plant with an engine rebuild kit.

Rebuild kits are specific to the machine, the machine serial prefix, engine model and engine arrangement. To find your Engine Rebuild kit you will need the following:

l Machine serial number prefix

l Engine model

l Engine arrangement

Here are some guidelines to help you pick the perfect kit.

Know your purpose

Figure out first what you want to do with your engine. Ask yourself some questions. What are the worn-out parts you need to replace? Do you need to tinker with the whole engine, or are only the pistons in need of attention? Do you want to make your engine more powerful? Is the engine even worth rebuilding, or is a complete replacement better? This will not only help you pick out the right kit, but also help in setting a goal for yourself with the whole repair.
