Alec's Automotive - Complete Engine Rebuilding

Pistons and rings seal the fuel in the cylinder,
compress it, and then receive the energy
from the firing explosion. Good pistons
are essential to a good engine.

Replacement Pistons

Standard OEM and third party pistons ensure your engine runs smoothly. Because of the wear on pistons, they need to be replaced when rebuilding your engine.

High Performance Pistons

High performance pistons are available for many engines, enabling higher compression ratios, larger displacement, and less weight.
Light weight replacement pistons decrease the amount of weight moved back and forth with every turn of the engine, decreasing vibrations and increasing maximum RPM.

Replacement Rings

Standard OEM and third party rings ensure the pistons seal properly against the cylinder wall, and make sure the fuel doesn't escape the cylinder into the crank case. Because of the wear on rings, they need to be replaced when rebuilding your engine.

Cylinder Maintenance & Replacement

Without a smooth cylinder wall, the piston rings cannot create a solid seal in the cylinder, resulting in a loss of compression and power.
We re-bore cylinders to have a perfectly round, smooth surface. We can also increase the cylinder bore to increase your engine's displacement and power output.

In severe cases of engine wear or cracked cylinder, we can resleeve cylinder walls to give new life to an old engine. This avoids having the replace the entire engine block.
