Reconditioned Engines & Ancillaries

Reconditioned Engines & Ancillaries Customers-own-unit reconditioning is one area of growth that API is currently developing. Due to the shortage of core material for some models, it is necessary to offer a fast turnaround on the existing engine. This is particularly the case with fork lift truck companies where the engine is similar to the vehicle version in construction but has a number of additional features on the block or head to accommodate the hydraulic systems of a fork lift truck.
Prices for repair are quoted on an individual basis and the only delay can be the supply of manufacturers original parts that are necessary in some short production-run types, or where a specialist repair proves necessary to a component that cannot be purchased promptly or economically. The full Mastercover-Plus 12 months/12000 miles warranty applies except in the case of a fork lift truck unit where the duration of the warranty is altered to 2000 hours or 1 year, all other Mastercover-plus terms would still apply.

Diesel fuel injection pumps, injectors and glow plugs are available from API as reconditioned units or new as necessary and are sold exchange with 3 months/3000 miles warranty. API recommends the use of reconditioned injection equipment with its reconditioned engines as it is likely that any components attatched to the original engine will have had the same amount of use as the engine and will perform appropriately. One of the first items to be inspected on any warranty claim on a deisel engine with excessive bore wear will be the pump and injectors.

Cylinder heads are available for petrol engines and for some diesel engines as either low mileage used or fully rebuilt. Most usually, diesel heads are sold fully rebuilt and would be sold exchange with a surcharge – returnable upon receipt of the complete old unit.
