MM tears down engines, supposedly mics clearances, replaces what they think needs replacing and reassembles. Not much different than what I would do. Problem is, they do it on an assembly line basis, where each of us would do just our own, one at a time (if you happen to have more than one)
They will also transfer used parts that are thought to be in spec to a different engine. This is where I think they go wrong. If the part is out of spec, it has to be replaced with a new one, not one from another engine. In addition, if you are going to remove the P/C's, you might as well go the full rebuild route starting with checking/machining of the case halves. I say this to ensure that deck heights and squareness to the crank are in spec. It's up to you how you rebuild your engine. But if you are doing the work personally, or you know your mechanic is competent and is only working on your engine with your parts, then it will probably have a better chance of going the distance vs. an assembly line refurbish job. This is all a personal opinion, of course. BTW, this is not how I handled my 4 cyl motor. All was new or machined. |
