Engine Repair, Engine Rebuild & Engine Overhaul

Loss of power, oil consumption, knocking noises or overheating – when simple maintenance is no longer enough, your engine may need professional attention. Swedish Experts offers complete engine repair, engine rebuild and engine overhaul services in Dubai, from targeted repairs to full strip-down and reassembly according to OEM specifications

Choosing the right solution – engine repair, partial rebuild or full engine overhaul – depends on damage level, mileage and budget. We diagnose your engine in detail and recommend the most sensible option to restore reliability and performance.

When Do You Need Engine Repair, Rebuild or Overhaul?

Engine Repair	Engine Rebuild	Engine Overhaul
Focused repair of specific components – gaskets, sensors, timing components, injectors or turbo. Suitable when the engine is generally healthy but has one or several isolated faults. Typical symptoms: leaks, misfires, check-engine light, poor cold start, minor overheating.	Engine removal, disassembly, inspection and replacement of worn internal parts such as piston rings, bearings, seals and chains. The block and head are reused after machining where needed. Ideal for high-mileage engines with compression loss, oil consumption or bearing wear.	Comprehensive restoration that may include machining of block and head, valve work, replacement of most moving components and full sealing. Often close to “as new” condition. Recommended after severe damage (overheating, seizure) or for long-term ownership plans.

Engine Repair, Rebuild & Overhaul Packages

Package	What’s Included	Best For	Typical Time
Engine Repair & Top-End Work	Detailed diagnostics, replacement of faulty components (gaskets, seals, sensors, ignition parts), basic head work if required	Localised issues, leaks, misfires, minor overheating, noise from valve train	~1–3 days
Standard Engine Rebuild	Engine removal, full disassembly, cleaning, measurement, piston rings & bearings, seals, timing set (where applicable), reassembly & run-in	High mileage, loss of compression, oil burning, knocking on load	~5–10 days (depending on parts and machining)
Complete Engine Overhaul	Full rebuild plus machining of block/head as required, valve job, possibly new pistons, oil pump, water pump and comprehensive sealing	Severe damage, overheated or seized engines, long-term ownership plans	~7–15 days (complex cases may take longer)

Timelines and costs depend on engine type, parts availability, machining needs and the level of damage. After diagnostics we provide a written estimate and explain whether engine repair, rebuild or overhaul is the best route.

Common Signs Your Engine Needs Serious Attention

Warning Symptoms

Blue smoke from exhaust (oil burning).
White smoke and coolant loss (possible head gasket failure).
Knocking or tapping noises from engine, especially under load.
Low oil pressure warning or metallic noise when hot.
Overheating and repeated coolant issues.
Rough idle, misfires, loss of power and high fuel consumption.

Continuing to drive with these symptoms can turn a repairable problem into a complete engine failure. Early diagnostics often saves money and expands your options – from focused engine repair to planned engine rebuild.

Repair vs Rebuild vs Overhaul

We generally recommend engine repair when damage is limited and the bottom end is healthy, engine rebuild when internal wear is evident but major components are reusable, and engine overhaul when structural damage or extreme wear is present and you want maximum long-term reliability.

Our Engine Repair, Rebuild & Overhaul Process

Diagnostics & Assessment: Compression/leak-down tests, scan tool diagnostics, visual inspection and oil analysis where needed.
Proposal & Estimate: We explain findings and offer options – engine repair, engine rebuild or full engine overhaul – with cost and timeframes.
Engine Removal (for rebuild/overhaul): Careful removal, labelling of parts and connections, preparation for disassembly.
Disassembly & Measurement: Detailed inspection of block, head, pistons, crankshaft, bearings and ancillaries to determine reuse vs replacement.
Machining & Parts Replacement: Machining, cleaning and fitting of new components according to tolerance and torque specifications.
Reassembly, Installation & Run-In: Final assembly, installation, fluid filling, first start, leak check, adaptation and road test.

Before You Approve Engine Work

Decide how long you plan to keep the vehicle
Consider your budget vs. value of the car
Discuss whether OEM or high-quality aftermarket parts are preferred

For some cases, we may also discuss alternative options such as low-mileage used engines or factory exchange units. Our goal is to find the most rational solution for your situation.

Engine Rebuild & Overhaul Equipment We Use

Diagnostics & Measurement	Machining & Specialist Partners
Compression testers, leak-down testers, endoscopes and diagnostic scanners help us understand engine condition before opening it. Precision measuring tools (micrometers, bore gauges) are used during rebuild to verify tolerances.	When required, blocks and heads are machined, honed or resurfaced with specialist equipment and partners. This ensures proper sealing, compression and oil control after engine rebuild.
Professional Cleaning	OEM Data & Torque Specs
Components are cleaned in dedicated parts washers and, where needed, treated to remove carbon, sludge and deposits. Clean parts are essential for a reliable engine overhaul.	We follow manufacturer data for tightening sequences, clearances and assembly procedures, using calibrated torque wrenches and angle gauges for critical fasteners.

FAQ

Is engine rebuild or engine overhaul better than fitting a used engine?

It depends on your budget and how long you plan to keep the car. A used engine may be cheaper initially but comes with unknown history. An engine rebuild or engine overhaul gives you a documented refresh of critical components. We can price both options for comparison.

How long will my engine last after rebuild or overhaul?

With proper parts, machining and maintenance, a correctly rebuilt engine can often deliver many tens of thousands of kilometres of service – sometimes comparable to a factory engine. Driving style and regular oil changes remain very important.

Do you provide warranty on engine repair, rebuild or overhaul?

Yes, we offer warranty on workmanship and parts for engine repair, engine rebuild and engine overhaul jobs. The exact terms depend on the level of work and parts chosen and will be specified in your estimate.

Can I continue driving my car if the engine is knocking or smoking?

We strongly advise against it. Knocking, heavy smoke or low oil pressure can quickly lead to total engine failure. It is safer and often cheaper to tow the vehicle to the workshop for diagnostics before more damage occurs.

What information do you need for an engine repair estimate?

Ideally: vehicle make, model, engine code, mileage, description of symptoms, any previous repairs and error messages. Photos or videos of smoke, noises or leaks can also help us prepare.
