Meta Mechanics recently completed a comprehensive engine overhauling service for a Range Rover SV in Dubai. During the overhaul, our experienced technicians identified several critical issues that were affecting the engine’s performance and reliability. Below are the key problems we found and the solutions we provided to restore the engine to its optimal condition:
Issue Found:
- Worn Pistons and Cylinder Walls
- Issue: The pistons and cylinder walls showed significant wear, leading to reduced compression, increased oil consumption, and overall poor engine performance.
- Solution: We replaced the worn pistons and re-bored the cylinders to restore compression, reduce oil consumption, and enhance engine performance and fuel efficiency.
- Damaged Timing Chain and Tensioners
- Issue: The timing chain had stretched, and the tensioners were worn out, causing misalignment in the engine’s timing, which resulted in poor performance and potential engine damage.
- Solution: We replaced the timing chain and tensioners with high-quality components, ensuring precise valve timing and smooth engine operation, preventing further misalignment and misfires.
- Oil Sludge Build-up
- Issue: The engine had significant oil sludge build-up, restricting proper oil flow and causing inadequate lubrication, which could lead to increased friction and premature engine wear.
- Solution: We performed a thorough cleaning of the engine components, flushed out the sludge, and replaced the oil filter and oil pump to restore proper lubrication and ensure long-term engine health.
- Worn Valve Seals and Valve Guides
- Issue: The valve seals and valve guides were worn, leading to oil leakage into the combustion chamber, which caused smoke in the exhaust and reduced engine efficiency.
- Solution: We replaced the worn valve seals and guides, preventing oil leakage, improving combustion efficiency, and restoring smooth engine operation and reduced exhaust emissions.
- Damaged Crankshaft Bearings
- Issue: The crankshaft bearings showed signs of wear, which caused increased friction, vibration, and potential damage to the crankshaft.
- Solution: We replaced the damaged crankshaft bearings with premium-quality bearings to reduce friction, restore smooth engine operation, and enhance overall engine durability.
