What is a diesel engine overhaul?
After Superior Diesel Services runs all the diagnostics on your diesel engine, it might be time to overhaul it. If the diagnosis is that you need to have your diesel engine overhauled, the good news is that Superior Diesel Services will give you a completely rebuilt diesel engine that should last a long time. At any rate, the staff at Superior Diesel Service will go through the necessary steps to ensure that the overhaul is the best thing for you.
A diesel engine overhaul is a complete rebuild of the entire diesel engine. It involves taking the engine completely apart. In that process, all the parts will be analyzed to see what parts need to be replaced and what parts might be used again. Everything will be cleaned from all dirt and contaminants before using them again.
Once the entire engine is taken apart, any parts to be replaced will be ordered. The cleaned parts and the new replacement parts will be reassembled. After the engine is overhauled completely and your diesel engine is up and running, you will notice more power and performance than before.
How long should a diesel engine last before you need a diesel engine overhaul?
The basic answer to this question is directly related to the prior maintenance program of the diesel engine. If you take care of your diesel engine, it will care for you. A regular maintenance program on all your diesel engines is essential to ensure that your diesel engine lasts for a long time.
Some will say that the average life of a diesel engine before it needs to be overhauled is about ten years. Again, that depends on how much your diesel engine is being used. Another rule of thumb is that you will need a diesel engine overhaul between 12,000 and 15,000 of use on the diesel engine. Diesel engines can run for 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 miles on the road. In every case, there is a direct correlation as to how much a diesel engine is used and its regular maintenance program in determining when you need a diesel engine overhaul.
What are some things that point to you having a diesel engine overhaul?
Several things might point towards you needing a diesel engine overhaul. If your engine has very low to no oil pressure, you may have contamination inside the engine. Sometimes coolant fluid makes its way into your oil. If this happens, you may notice that your coolant fluid level is always high. This is an indication that you are heading towards a diesel engine overhaul.
If you notice that your engine uses a lot of oil or coolant, this may be pointing towards a diesel engine overhaul. One thing that might be going on, in this case, is your cylinder liners may become worn out. Another reason might be that a head gasket may be blown, or a cylinder head is cracked.
A primary reason you may notice you need a diesel engine overhaul is when a rod bearing fails, or you drop a rod. This is major. If you have a broken rod in your diesel engine, it jumps around inside your engine. This alone can damage a diesel engine. Dropping a rod in the diesel engine is the most common type of engine failure in diesel engines. If this happens, part of your valve usually drops inside the engine, which can cause a lot of damage.
