Our Build Process
Transparency at Every Stage
No surprises. No hidden costs. We communicate openly, provide photographic evidence, and welcome you to visit at any stage. Here is exactly how we work.
Initial Quotation
Every project begins with a conversation. We discuss your requirements, engine history, and intended use. Based on this, we provide a detailed quotation that outlines the anticipated scope of work. This quotation is always subject to physical inspection — because we believe in honest assessments, not educated guesses.
Inspection & Evidence
Your engine is carefully stripped down and every component is individually inspected against manufacturer tolerances. This is where our commitment to transparency truly shines. Where components have failed inspection or are unserviceable, we photograph them and provide you with clear, documented evidence. You see exactly what we see.
Revised Quotation & Options
If the inspection reveals additional work beyond the original quotation, we don’t simply proceed. We revise the quotation with full details and photographic evidence of what we’ve found, and present you with clear options. You decide how to proceed — and we respect your decision.
Deposit & Build Commencement
Once you’ve approved the scope of work, we collect a deposit and the precision rebuild begins. Our significant investment in parts stock means we can often begin immediately without waiting for components. You are welcome to visit at any stage to see your engine being built.
Precision Build
Every component is carefully assembled to manufacturer specifications by our experienced engineers. This is not a production line — it is meticulous, considered work carried out by craftspeople who take immense pride in what they do. The same standard we apply to the engines we fly ourselves.
Dynamometer Testing
Every engine is tested on our dynamometer across the full operating range. This rigorous testing verifies power output, temperatures, pressures, and overall performance. We don’t release an engine until we are confident it meets or exceeds all required parameters. A detailed test report is provided with your engine.
Final Payment & Collection
Final payment is collected upon completion. Your engine is released with full documentation, test reports, and all paperwork required for installation. Our guarantee matches our competitors — because our confidence in our work exceeds theirs.
Visit Us
Come and See for Yourself
We actively encourage owners to visit our workshop at any stage of their engine's build. Walk the floor, meet the engineers working on your engine, and witness the care and attention that goes into every component.
There is no better way to understand the difference between an engine built on a production line and one built by craftspeople.
