Engine Regeneration After Piston Seizure

Model: Ford Transit MK 7 - Years 2006-2014
Part: Engine

If the engine seizes due to a piston seizure, it is necessary to regenerate the entire engine: this is an intervention that requires significant experience as the engine must be completely disassembled and then reassembled after appropriate machining. It will be necessary to re-bore the cylinders to remove scratches caused by the seizure, and since everything is disassembled, it is advisable to carry out a head regeneration with valve seat machining and replacement of various oil seals and guides. During the assembly phase, it is also recommended to replace the bearings, piston rings, all gaskets, the timing chain, and, if necessary, the clutch.
