In Africa’s industrial, marine, and power generation sectors, diesel engine overhauling is a vital service for maintaining reliability and performance. A complete overhaul restores engine components to original specifications—extending service life and preventing costly breakdowns.

At Panesar Crankshaft Centre, we provide precision diesel engine overhauling services tailored to the operational needs of Africa’s toughest environments.

What Is Diesel Engine Overhauling?

Overhauling a diesel engine involves a comprehensive disassembly, inspection, replacement, and reassembly of internal components. The process addresses wear and damage accumulated over thousands of hours of operation, restoring the engine to optimal condition.

When to Consider an Engine Overhaul

  • Excessive oil or fuel consumption
  • Loss of power or uneven performance
  • Blue or black exhaust smoke
  • Hard starting or misfiring
  • Low compression or high blow-by
  • Increased vibration or abnormal noise

These signs indicate the engine is nearing or has passed its overhaul interval—and proactive service can prevent a full failure.
