Engine Rebuilds

Your engine is the beating heart of your classic vehicle. It is responsible for the sound, the feel, the acceleration, and the overall character of your classic. That is why it is so important to ensure it is operating the way that it should.

Dowell Bros understand engines. From daily drivers to high-performance competition engines and everything in between, we know how to make them perform the way that you want them to.

From light refurbishing to full rebuilds, we offer many services to help keep your engine running just the way it should.

We offer a complete engine re-commissioning service for classic and vintage cars. This means that we can handle any step of the process as a smaller task.

We offer all of the basic jobs for refurbishing engines in-house, including valve grinding, bearing replacement, replacement of head gaskets, diagnostics and checking wear tolerances.

For any heavy machine work, we work closely with a like-minded local machine shop and triple check everything so that your engine can be put back together to perform for years to come.

As well as all of the essentials, we also offer options for custom touches such as colour coding blocks, heads and other engine components and ancillaries to the exact colour of your car.

Our speciality is performance engines with capability of recommending cam-profiles and accompanying engine specs to suit specific applications, porting and polishing of inlet and exhaust ports, and calculating and adjusting compression ratios for both naturally aspirated and forced induction purposes.

We also have a great relationship with suppliers of parts for American engines, if you’re struggling to get parts, or with finding someone who can reliably work on them, then get in touch through the button below.
