Overhaul

Turn back the clock.

Factory Overhauls return your original equipment to like-new condition, delivering the same high standards of performance, service life and quality as the original new product.

Factory Overhauls are provided by the same experts who built your original equipment, utilizing the same rigorous standards as our factory remanufacturing process. As a result, your complete system, including gearboxes, loose parts (oil cooler, etc.) and automation/electronics, is fully restored. Valid for Series 183, 396, 493, 538, 595, 652, 956, 1163 and other engine series such as various Defense engines and Series 2000/ 4000.
