The Enginetech Rebuilder’s Pistons

The Rebuilders piston from Enginetech is the right piston for our customers. The piston meets or exceeds OEM standards of metallurgy and quality. Our engineers thoroughly research engine design, operation, rebuilding in our customer shops and our own test facilities to develop a piston that works best for the rebuilder. You can not buy a better-quality piston for any production application for the price.

• Decked Pistons - Most are decked 0.010” to 0.020” to compensate for oversized bores and head/deck milling.

• Size Grading - Pistons in each set are matched and are clearly marked. You are assured of proper clearance without measuring, grading, or hand fitting.

• Controlled Weight - Enginetech rebuilder's piston sets are weight matched for proper engine balance.

• Precision - Cast and Machined Chambers - State-of-the-art machining and superior cast finishes give a professional appearance and help prevent pre-ignition and eliminate rough edges and hot spots.

• Precise Machining - Pistons are diamond-turned rather than ground to assure exact size, precise skirt profile and superior finish which are critical to good scuff resistance during break-in and overall endurance.

• Fitted Wrist Pins - Wrist pins are cold forged for strength and grade fitted to each piston to assure proper pin to pin bore clearances. Many Enginetech pins are .0005” oversized to compensate for wear in the small end of the connecting rods. Electronic gauging of the pin and pin bore clearances assures control of exact clearances.


• State-of-the-Art Materials - We offer cast aluminum, hypereutectic, and forged applications. Treatments such as skirt coatings, anodized heads and NI-resist inserts are used as required.

• Compensated Ring Grooves - Grooves are machined to a constant depth insuring consistent ring back clearance, reducing blow-by and oil consumption, lengthening ring life.

• Multiple Piston Molds per Application - Gives more consistent skirt thickness and lower absolute weight / reciprocating mass.

The Rebuilder’s Piston will help you build long life into today’s engines. It is another quality part engineered for Enginetech to meet your needs of premium-quality, competitively priced engine parts and backed by excellent service and technical support.


The Enginetech Rebuilder’s Piston Ring

The Rebuilder’s Piston Ring from Enginetech is the right ring. It meets or exceeds OE standards of metallurgy and quality. Here is why the rebuilder’s ring is right for our customers.

The Enginetech Rebuilder’s Piston Ring

• Sophisticated Designs - Each set is engineered for the application. Tapered face and reverse twist are used in the intermediate groove for most passenger cars and truck sets for maximum oil control in stop and go driving. The tapered face ensures instant seating of the intermediate groove rings.

• Oil control Ring Design - Enginetech uses more than one type of expander for the oil ring based upon ease of installation and to help prevent overlapping during assembly. Enginetech oil ring assemblies include designs such as SS-50, PC-98, Wire Latch & Flex Vent.

• Packaging - Enginetech utilizes superior packaging. Each ring set is clearly labeled in its own compartment, top groove, second groove and bottom groove. Our rings are also marked with a dot or letter size markings indicating which side is up, helping accuracy of installation.

The Rebuilder’s Piston Ring will help the customer build a longer life into today’s hot-running engines. Engineered by Enginetech to meet the needs of premium-quality, competitively priced engine parts and backed by excellent service and technical support

The Enginetech Rebuilder’s

Rods, Mains and Camshaft Bearings

The Rebuilder’s Rods, Mains and Camshaft Bearings from Enginetech combine exacting OE standards. Top Quality rod, main, and cam bearings are engineered for the rebuilding industry to help save time and money.

• Bearing Design - Our rod and main bearings are designed with optimal “crush” to improve bearing tangential pre-load for remanufactured engines. Crush helps prevent bearing rotation and insure proper heat transfers.

• Controlled Eccentricity - Controlled Eccentricity on rod and main bearings is designed into every application, creating a hydrodynamic wedge which insures proper oil thickness between bearing and crankshaft.

• 100% Inspection - In addition to a statistical inspection process performed at Enginetech, every bearing is inspected at the manufacturing level to conform to Enginetech’s high quality standards. It must meet rigid size, shape and quality of finish specifications.



• Full Round Precision Cam Bearings - The Enginetech camshaft bearings are manufactured with consistent edge chamfers which facilitates ease installation. Enginetech camshaft bearings are manufactured as a “Full Round” design. Our bearings are produced from extruded steel tubes with a centrifugally cast Babbitt lining. Several different grades of Babbitt are used depending on applications. Engines with inherent OE problems of bearing wiping and/or fatiguing utilize a high grade ASTM-14 material. Enginetech is also an industry leader in the design and development of “Problem Solver” cam bearings. Many OE engines have pre-mature bearing failures (Chrysler 3.3/3.8L, GM 3.1/3.4L, Ford 2.3L SOHC, Ford 460 etc.). These bearings include 0.010” undersized I.D. for re-ground cam journals, we also have grooved O.D. and HD alloys bearings. Enginetech offers “Better than OE” bearings with improved designs and up-graded materials for many problematic applications.



Enginetech bearings solve many problems. One example is the oversize O.D. rod bearings for the small block Chevrolet and also for the late style powdered metal “cracked” rods in the modular Ford. These allow reconditioning of the rod without machining the parting surfaces. Also we have modified the crush relief area to reduce oil flow to meet the standards of certain test equipment. For bearings that meet Enginetech's high standard of quality and value along with excellent service and technical support, the customer needs The Rebuilder Bearing.

• Superior Materials - With a superior fatigue strength, they stand up under high loading. Conformability works smoothly and will last, even when there is a slight mis-alignment between shaft and bearing. Embeddability absorbs abrasive material so it will not scratch the shaft, resisting seizing during start up. Most of our rod and main bearings are made with the most advance Aluminum-Silicone alloys used in the industry today.

The Enginetech Rebuilder’s Intake and

Exhaust ValvesThe Enginetech Valve products are another example of Enginetech's high quality

standards and cost reducing products to help the rebuilder save time and money. We offer three valve lines, the Rebuilder Valve, Standard Valves and Performance Valves.

• The Rebuilder Valve - Is a specially designed to relieve the bottleneck in the customers cylinder head department . The rebuilder valve will eliminate the need to clean, inspect and regrind old valves, for the cost of reclaiming junk old valves you can install rebuilder valves, saving time and money. The customer can increase cylinder head sales by claiming all new premium valves in their remanufactured heads.

• Head Diameter - The head diameter of the rebuilder valve is 0.010” to 0.030” oversized depending on the application. For badly worn seats the increased head diameter allows less seat machining, which reduces replacements.

• Eliminate Guide Replacement - The rebuilder valve stem diameters are oversized 0.008” to 0.0015” depending on the application. You need only one valve guide reamer per engine because unlike our competitor’s valve we make the valve fit the reamer rather then making reamers fit the valve. With only one reamer you get the correct oil clearance on both intake and exhaust valves. No guide replacement or liner installation required.

• Reclaim More Springs and Eliminate Spring Shims - Valve springs will weaken over time, in the past rebuilders would install shims to bring reclaimed spring boost valve seat pressure back to normal. The rebuilder valve has a lowered keeper groove from 0.020” to 0.030” towards the valve head, spring pressure is automatically boosted, making shims obsolete.


Exhaust Valves

• Replacement Standard Valves - The standard replacement valves are the quality leader. All Enginetech valves are produced with OE grade material or better, with our face run-out and stem finish they are the best in the industry. Enginetech’s valve stem and tip finishes of standard, rebuilder and performance valves are finished to 17RMS, far lower than the industry standard of 22 to 28 RMS.

• Superior Material on Intake Valves - Our Intake valves are better than OE. Our one piece construction intake valves are made from HNV-3 alloy (often used in exhaust valves) and all of our valve stems are either triple plated chrome or gas nitrided. We even go a step further and harden every valve tip to 50HRC minimum.

• Superior Material on Exhaust Valves - Our Exhaust valves are also a one piece design and are made from EV-8 or EV-12 stainless steel. Like the intake valves they are also triple plated chrome or gas nitrided and have a harden tip to 50HRC minimum.


Exhaust Valves

• Performance Replacement Valves - The performance valves are also made to the high standard of Enginetech valves, with swirl polish finishes and made out of finest grade materials as Stellite and Inconel. They cover all of the rebuilder needs of a engine valve.

Enginetech’s innovative design of replacement valves makes us the industry leader in valve design for rebuilders. Our valve program meets the customers need for premium quality and competitively priced valves.


Exhaust Valves

The Enginetech Rebuilder’s Valve

Stem SealEnginetech’s high quality valve stem seals are available in three

categories, Premium positive , Premium Umbrella and OE.

• Premium Positive Seals - These seals are metal clad with high-temp Viton © elastomeric sealing lips and are good up to 400 °, also13 P/N’s cover 90% of all applications. Premium Positive seals are designed to work with valve stems from 0.005” under to 0.015” over, most of these can be used as a universal fit on normal guide sizes such as 0.482”, 0.512”, 0.530”, 0625” etc. Stem diameters range from 8.00 to 3/8”.

• Premium Umbrella Seals - These seals are high-temp silicone with garter springs to retain stem interference and are good up to 400 °, also 8 P/N’s cover 90% of all applications. Premium Umbrella seals are designed to work with valve stems from 0.005” under to 0.015” over, most of these seals can be used as a universal fit on normal stem sizes such as 8.00mm, 5/16, 11/32 and 3/8.

The Enginetech Rebuilder’s Valve

Stem Seal

• OE Type Seals - These seals are designed as a direct replacement for the OE part. The OE type seals are recommended for standard OE diameter valve stems. Enginetech only uses OE type materials for these seals including Viton ©, polyacrylate and nylon. The OE type seal comes in Umbrella,Positive Tophat, Positive Ring & Band and Metal Clad. Enginetech has it covered with a full line of OE valve stem seals.

The Rebuilder’s Valve Stem Seal will help you build long life into today’s engines. It is another quality part engineered by Enginetech to meet the needs of a premium-quality, competitively priced engine parts and backed by excellent service and technical support.

The Enginetech Rebuilder’s Gasket

Enginetech’s Fire Seal Technology Gaskets help the customers build better engines faster. Rather than duplicating OE designs, The Rebuilders Gasket set is designed specifically for the rebuilder. They accommodate the kinds of surfaces you have to work with, without comebacks or leaks.

• Consolidation - Enginetech‘s consolidation means fewer numbers to accurately cover more engines. Enginetech engineers spend hours of research with new and used blocks, to develop gasket and seal sets that really seal while reducing the number of sets needed for similar engines. For example, one set covers all 350 Chevrolet engines through 85’, and two sets cover all Buick 231/181 non-turbo engines from 79’ to 87’. This means keeping less inventory. Convenient packaging and clear instructions help installers do the right job faster and easier.


• Superior Design and Materials - Enginetech engineers analyzed the special sealing problems of each engine covered, and designed the gaskets and seals that would work best in each part of the engine. Thermal shock dyno testing verifies the design excellence. Unlike OE designs, the Rebuilder's Gasket is designed for and works better on rebuilt engines. Individual gaskets are die cut from the right material in the right thickness for each application, and have elastomeric sealing beads in critical areas.

• Head gaskets are no-retorque with virtually no loss in clamping force over time, perforated to eliminate material separation and leakage and are coated with a premium silicone blend to allow head-to-block movement and easy removal, we also utilize the latest MLS design gaskets. Precise thickness gives predictable sealing, fire rings are oversize (for oversize bores), and elastomeric sealing beads meet special sealing needs.


• Valve cover gaskets have the proper thickness for optimum sealing. They seal, are durable, have a long shelf life, and are flexible to withstand rough handling during installation without breaking. One piece molded rubber gaskets are used in late applications where critical sealing is a must.

• Pan gaskets are made in the right thickness to seal best on sheet metal without splitting. Again, they are durable, flexible, and have a long shelf life. Also, one piece rubber molded pan gaskets are available for late model engines.

• Intake gaskets are designed to prevent vacuum leaks and withstand high temperatures from exhaust crossover heat on V-type engines. They are embossed or have raised elastomeric beads to give high unit pressure and superior sealing on narrow flanges. In several applications, a heat-sensitive coating provides a positive seal once the engine is run.


• Superior PackagingThe easy-to-learn part number is highly visible regardless of which way the gaskets are stocked. A complete, easy to read bill of materials is on the label. The head gasket(s) can be easily removed without opening the complete package, therefore the rebuilder can use the head gasket(s) and send the balance of the set to the installer still sealed. The gaskets are divided into subsets, thus the smaller, more fragile components are protected from damage or folding. Where needed simplified installation instructions and technical information are included. The easy to read instructions promote a better quality of workmanship by the installer and prevents costly mistakes. There is a full description and printable accurate images of the gasket set in the electronic catalog.


• Type of Gaskets Sets and Gaskets - We sell several different types of gasket configurations:

• The Head Set (HS) have everything needed to do the top end. • The Conversion Set (CS) have everything needed to do the bottom end. • Full Gaskets Sets have everything needed for top and bottom ends.

• PER Sets, these are the true rebuilder set, comes without main seals and valve stem seals for the larger production rebuilders.

• 10 packs of improved intake and head gaskets for the most popular engines.

Thread Repair KitsEnginetech "Time Sert" and "Big Sert" thread repair kits solve the problem once

and for all. They utilize solid bushing inserts that are easy to install and will accept and maintain as much or more torque as the original threaded hole. The solid bushing inserts mechanically lock into place to prevent backing out and also provide a leak proof thread repair.The "timed" thread design of Enginetech's thread repair inserts makes them the thinnest solid bushing on the market and allows them to be installed anywhere a coiled insert can be used.Many specialty repairs cannot be performed with a coiled wire type of insert. Thread repair of crankshaft "snouts" are risky because of the high torque load and vibration, but Enginetech's solid inserts work every time.

Enginetech "Time Serts" & "Big Serts" are available in U. S. & Metric, spark plug repair inserts, tapered pipe thread inserts, and both carbon & stainless steel.


Thread Repair KitsAdvantages of the Solid Bushing System:• Greater strength to with stand the full torque loads intended for the original threads.• The solid bushing design will reseal a hole that is open to coolant or oil.• Thin enough to be installed virtually anywhere.• Easy to install - Simply drill out, re-tap, countersink the hole and install. All the necessary tools are included in the kits.• Enginetech's solid bushing inserts are made of phosphate coated carbon steel or stainless steel.

Spark Plug Threads in Aluminum Heads:• Each insert is designed for the specific repair required and are stronger than the threads they replace.• Spark plug inserts are plated with silver or copper to assure proper heat transfer and prevent corrosion due to proximity of dissimilar metals.• Spark plug inserts offer good release so the spark plug can be removed without taking the insert with it.

The Enginetech “Problem Solvers”

Just like the rebuilder valves, problem solving bearings, cylinder sleeves and Time Serts kits Enginetech offers many “Problem Solver” products .
