Valve cover gaskets to complete engine-out rebuilds — there's an air-cooled 911 flat-six on our build bench right now. That's the standard.

On the Bench

From gaskets to full builds

That’s Kinan on the bench — a triple ASE-certified master technician turning wrenches at the master level since 1993, who ran shop floors for BMW, Audi, Lamborghini, and Land Rover before bringing that experience to this bench. The flat-six in these photos is his current project. Most shops tap out when the job means pulling the engine. This is where ours starts. Engine diagnostics and builds for the Hudson Valley — from Stormville pickups to Cold Spring collector cars.

  • Gaskets and seals: valve cover, oil pan, timing cover, rear main
  • Timing chains, tensioners, guides, and water pumps — the known failure points
  • Head gaskets, top-end work, and complete rebuilds
  • Engine replacement and engine-out reseals for mid- and rear-engine cars
  • Every build documented, torqued to spec, and road-tested

Watch It Go In

An Audi R8 V10, going back home

Engine installs are the deep end of this trade — a mid-engine V10 supercar going back together on our floor. This is what "engine-out capable" actually looks like.

Air-cooled, RSR-mounted, in progress

This isn’t a stock photo — it’s the flat-six currently on our engine stand. Builds like this are why the everyday work here gets race-build discipline.

FAQ

Common questions

Is my engine worth rebuilding or should I replace it?
Depends on the platform and the failure. We'll give you a straight comparison — rebuild vs. replacement vs. moving on — with real numbers.
My European car is leaking oil. Is that normal?
Common, yes. Normal to ignore, no. Valve cover, oil filter housing, and oil pan gaskets are routine repairs that prevent bigger problems.
Do you do engine work on air-cooled Porsches?
Yes — there's a 993 flat-six on our bench in the gallery right now.
White, blue, or black exhaust smoke — what does each mean?
White that lingers usually means coolant getting where it shouldn’t. Blue is oil being burned — rings, valve seals, or turbo. Black is over-fueling. Each points at a different system, which is why smoke color is one of the first questions we ask on the phone.
Is it worth rebuilding my engine or should I replace it?
Depends on core condition, platform value, and what you want from the car. After teardown and inspection we quote both paths honestly — sometimes a quality used engine wins, sometimes a rebuild on your numbers-matching block is worth every penny.
V10s To V8s To Flat-Sixes

Engine work at every altitude

The same hands that rebuild daily-driver engines service Lamborghini V10s with the decklid open. Fenders covered, fasteners bagged, factory procedures followed — whether the engine costs four figures or six.
