They don’t simply clean and reassemble. Each engine undergoes a comprehensive, multi-stage restoration process. “We start with a thorough disassembly,” explains the lead mechanic. “Every single part is inspected. Anything worn, cracked, or damaged is either expertly repaired or replaced with period-correct components. We don’t use reproductions unless absolutely necessary – we prioritize finding original parts to maintain authenticity.” This dedication to originality extends to everything from gaskets and pistons to carburetors and distributors. ALAN GRAY LLC boasts an extensive network of suppliers and a dedicated team that actively searches for rare and hard-to-find parts. The Restoration Process – From Core to Completion The process isn’t rushed. Each engine receives the attention it deserves, typically taking several weeks or even months to complete, depending on its condition and complexity. Here’s a breakdown of the key stages: Disassembly & Inspection: As mentioned, every component is meticulously inspected for wear, damage, and potential issues. Detailed notes and photographs are taken throughout the process. Cleaning & Machining: Parts are professionally cleaned, often using specialized techniques to remove years of grime and corrosion. Machining work, such as valve grinding, cylinder honing, and crankshaft polishing, is performed in-house or by trusted partners. Component Repair & Replacement: Worn or damaged parts are repaired whenever possible. If a part is beyond repair, it’s replaced with a genuine original or, in rare cases, a high-quality reproduction. Reassembly & Testing: The engine is carefully reassembled, adhering to original factory specifications. Before shipping, each engine undergoes rigorous testing to ensure proper operation and performance. This includes checking compression, oil pressure, and overall running condition. Finishing Touches: The final stage involves detailed finishing, including painting, labeling, and ensuring everything looks as it should.
