At Mazda Bongo Auto Centre, we pride ourselves on our expertise in restoring Mazda Bongo campervans to their full glory. One of our specialties is providing fully rebuilt engines, ensuring your beloved Bongo is ready for many more years of adventure. Recently, we had the opportunity to carry out a complete engine rebuild for a customer whose van came to us with a severe cylinder head failure. Here’s a detailed look at the meticulous process we followed to bring this engine back to life.
The Challenge: Cylinder Head Failure
The van arrived at our workshop with a significant issue: a cylinder head failure. This type of problem can lead to various symptoms, including overheating, loss of power, and potential engine damage. Our goal was to not only address this issue but to ensure the engine would be reliable and robust for many years to come.
The Solution: A Complete Engine Rebuild
**1. Refurbished Cylinder Head
- We supplied a fully refurbished cylinder head, ensuring it was as good as new.
- The head was meticulously cleaned, inspected, and prepared for installation.
2. Skimmed and Pressure Tested Block
- To guarantee a perfect fit and long life, we skimmed and pressure tested the engine block.
- This step is crucial to ensure the block is perfectly flat and free of any cracks or defects that could compromise its integrity.
3. New Parts for Optimal Performance
- A vast array of new parts was supplied and installed, including:
- All new filters (oil, air, and fuel) for optimal filtration and engine efficiency.
- Complete set of gaskets to ensure a perfect seal and prevent leaks.
- New cam belt kit and water pump for reliable timing and cooling.
- Fresh spark plugs to ensure efficient ignition and smooth running.
4. Assembly and Testing
- The engine was carefully assembled, with each component fitted to precise specifications.
- Once assembled, the engine underwent rigorous testing to ensure it was running perfectly and ready for installation.
The Finished Product
The result of our hard work and attention to detail is a fully rebuilt engine, ready for many more years of adventures on the open road. This engine, with its vast array of new parts and thorough rebuild process, offers reliability and peace of mind to its owner.
