Engine Overhaul Services
Ensure the performance, reliability, and lifespan of your power systems with expert engine overhaul services from React Power Solutions. Our certified technicians rebuild and restore backup generator engines to original specifications, helping you avoid downtime, reduce operational risk, and meet your facility’s power needs with confidence.
Why Engine Overhaul Matters
Backup generators play a critical role in keeping operations running during power outages. Over time, parts of the engine break down from wear and tear and engine damage. Ignoring these signs can lead to unexpected failures, expensive repairs, and safety issues.
An engine overhaul restores your equipment to peak condition without the cost of buying a new generator. For many operations managers, this is a smart investment that saves money and reduces long-term risk.

Signs You May Need an Engine Overhaul
Recognizing early signs of wear helps you act before a minor issue becomes a major failure. You may need an engine overhaul if you notice:
- Hard Starts or Frequent Stalling – If your generator takes longer than usual to start or stalls during operation, internal engine wear may be affecting compression or fuel delivery.
- Excessive Exhaust Smoke – Black, white, or blue smoke from the exhaust indicates problems with fuel combustion, oil burning, or coolant leakage.
- Loss of Power or Poor Performance – Engines that run weakly under load or lose RPMs quickly often suffer from worn pistons, rings, or valves.
- High Oil Consumption – Frequent oil top-offs suggest internal leakage, worn rings, or failing gaskets.
- Metal Shavings in Oil – Metal particles in your oil filter or during oil analysis are early signs of internal wear and potential engine failure.
If your generator shows any of these signs, React Power Solutions can perform a full engine assessment and advise you on next steps.
What’s Included in Our Engine Overhaul Services
At React Power Solutions, our engine overhaul process follows manufacturer guidelines and includes:
Full Disassembly and Inspection
We disassemble the engine to inspect pistons, liners, bearings, gaskets, and all moving components.
Cleaning and Machining
All parts are cleaned. Worn components are either replaced or remanufactured to meet OEM standards. Cylinder heads and blocks are machined as needed.
Replacement of Worn Parts
We install new rings, gaskets, seals, bearings, and other engine parts as needed. We use OEM or OEM-equivalent parts to ensure reliability.
Reassembly and Testing
Engines are reassembled, torqued to spec, and tested under load. We verify performance, fuel efficiency, and emission standards.
Engine Overhaul vs. Replacement
Many operations managers ask whether it’s better to overhaul or replace an engine. Here’s a clear comparison:
Overhaul
- Cost: Lower upfront investment
- Downtime: Typically shorter
- Lifespan: Extends engine life by 8,000–15,000 hours
- Customization: Maintains current configuration
Replacement
- Cost: Higher cost for new engine
- Downtime: Can be longer, especially if retrofitting
- Lifespan: Brand new engine lifespan
- Customization: May require changes to connections or mounts
In most cases, an overhaul offers significant savings and avoids the complexity of full replacement.
