Industrial Engine Overhaul and Repower

At Colorado Standby, we offer expert industrial engine overhaul and repower services, ensuring improved performance and longevity. Our comprehensive overhaul process and cost-effective repowering solutions are designed to meet the specific needs of your machinery and business.

Engine Overhaul

An industrial engine overhaul is a comprehensive and extensive restoration process that addresses diesel engines that have reached the end of their service life or are exhibiting significant wear and performance issues. A properly executed engine overhaul can significantly extend the engine’s life and restore its efficiency, reducing the need for a full engine replacement. We typically perform overhauls when someone’s engine experiences a decline in efficiency. Other reasons are increased emissions, excessive oil consumption, loss of power, or frequent breakdowns.

Colorado Standby’s engine overhaul process involves disassembling the engine down to its individual components and thoroughly inspecting each part. We replace worn or damaged components with new or remanufactured parts to restore the engine to its original performance specifications. This can include replacing piston rings, bearings, gaskets, valves, cylinder liners, and other critical engine parts. Our technicians may recondition or replace the cylinder head and bore and hone the engine block to ensure proper tolerances.

Engine Repower

Engine repowering, also known as engine replacement or retrofitting, involves replacing the existing diesel engine with a newer, more efficient, or environmentally friendly model. Our repowering services are often chosen when someone’s current engine is outdated, unreliable, or does not meet current emissions regulations. Repowering is a cost-effective alternative to purchasing a new piece of equipment. It enables your business to continue using existing machinery with the benefits of a modern engine.

Colorado Standby’s repowering process includes selecting a compatible replacement engine that matches the power and performance requirements of your equipment or machinery. It may involve modifying the engine mounting, exhaust system, intake system, and other components to ensure a seamless fit. After the installation, your repowered engine should deliver improved performance, reduced emissions, and potentially lower maintenance costs.

In both cases, proper maintenance and care after the industrial engine overhaul or repower process are also vital to maximize your engine’s lifespan and efficiency. Learn more about our industrial diesel engine preventative maintenance service.
