Our inspection process

​We take delight in undertaking a thorough inspection procedure to ensure that each engine delivered by Tonmax Engines meets our high-quality requirements. 

A compression test shows the state of the engine's valve, its valve seats and piston rings. Compression should be over 100 psi per cylinder in healthy engines, with no more than 10% variance between the highest and lowest readings. 

Our expert specialists carry out a compression test on each cylinder as well as a visual inspection to ensure that the engine you get is fit for shipping.

• Examine the engine for freight damage and dirt contamination.
• Ensure that the engine is the same as the one being replaced.

• Make sure that all of the oil gallery plugs are in place, tight, and sealed.
• Double-check that all freeze plugs are in place and properly sealed.
• Clean all accessories from the previous engine that will be moved to the newly acquired engine.
• Check that the block and the heads have temperature tracking labels or heat tabs attached.
• The intake manifold and machine gasket surfaces must be resurfaced.
