Technical engine work
If an inspection has pointed to a part of the engine, find it below. Use these pages to understand what could need checking before you agree to repair, machine or replace a component.
Cylinder head, block and internal parts
- Cylinder head repair covers assessment after overheating or a suspected sealing problem.
- Head gasket work looks at what can distinguish a gasket fault from other cooling or sealing problems.
- Engine block work covers damage to mating surfaces and wear in the cylinder bores.
- Component machining explains how measurements and service limits affect whether a part can be reused.
- Pistons and rings looks at what to check when oil consumption or low compression points to wear.
- Crankshaft work covers the condition and dimensions of the journals.
Timing and supporting systems
- Timing chain covers checks on the chain, guides and tensioner according to the fault.
- Timing belt explains what needs assessing if the belt has slipped or valve timing has been lost.
- Lubrication covers warnings and abnormal oil pressure readings.
- Cooling looks at coolant loss and overheating.
Still working out where the fault is?
Start with engine diagnostics if you have symptoms and no clear cause yet. If your question is about whether the measurements allow material to be removed, see engine machining.

Cylinder head repair in Málaga
Ask if your cylinder head can be recovered after overheating or internal damage. We consider its condition and whether further checks are needed.
Head gasket replacement in Málaga
Suspect a failed head gasket? Ask what checks can distinguish it from other faults and what needs assessing before a replacement is quoted.
Engine block repair in Málaga
Find out whether an engine block can be reused after wear or damage. We consider the bores, mating surface and limits of the specific engine.
Machining individual engine components
Discuss machining a cylinder bore, mating surface or journal. The part’s material, measurements and assembly requirements guide the choice.
Piston and ring work in Málaga
Ask whether your engine needs rings, pistons or cylinder work. Oil use, compression results and internal measurements help define the repair.
Crankshaft assessment and grinding
Ask whether your crankshaft can be reused, ground or needs replacing. We consider journal measurements, damage and what caused it.
Timing chain assessment and replacement
Ask about a suspected timing chain fault. Checks may cover timing, the chain, guides and tensioner, as well as possible damage inside the engine.
Timing belt replacement after an engine fault
Has the timing belt broken or slipped? Ask how we assess the drive, possible internal damage and the work needed before quoting.
Engine oil pressure and lubrication faults
Ask about a low oil pressure warning. We consider whether the pressure is genuinely low and what parts of the lubrication system may need checking.
Engine cooling system faults
Ask about coolant loss or recurring high temperatures. We look at which checks can identify a leak, a circulation fault or poor heat dissipation.
