Can I drop off an engine for a build without an appointment?
Please call us to verify our schedule and workload before coming to drop off your engine. If we are at capacity on jobs, we may have to put you on a waitlist or refer you to another shop. Once you have received approval to bring your engine, you can drop it off during our normal business hours.
Do you rebuild stock engines?
We no longer rebuild stock engines or refresh stock cylinder heads. The only exclusions to this are vintage restoration builds with a very flexible time frame.
Do you work on diesel engines?
We do not perform any machine work or rebuild services on diesel engines. We also do not stock or sell any parts for diesel engines.
How do I start a build?
Contact us to discuss what you want to build, and we will create an estimate for you to review. If you wish to proceed, we require 100% parts cost down. You will pay for the labor portion of the bill upon completion of your project.
Can I supply my own parts?
You are welcome to supply your own parts for any job that is exclusively machine work. However, you are responsible for any additional machining time/costs caused by low-quality parts. Assembly is up to our discretion, and if we believe the provided parts are sub-par, we may refuse to assemble them in order to protect our reputation against failures or poor performance.
Is it better for me to disassemble my engine before bringing it in, or have you do it?
It is best to allow us to disassemble the engine so that everything can be evaluated and organized in the way that we do it here. Additionally, if the engine is complete when you bring it in, all parts will be accounted for and present. We have had instances where customers lose parts in their garage and claim we lost them, which has caused unnecessary delays and wasted time.
How can I check the status of my build?
Please send an email to [email protected], and we will do our best to get back to you in a timely manner. We highly advise against calling on a daily/weekly basis to check in as it disrupts our workflow and adds time to the build process.
What should I do if I forgot or lost my maintenance information for my Advanced Racing Engines built engine?
Please email us at [email protected] or call us at 785-825-6684. We keep extensive documentation on specifications, tuning, and maintenance information for every engine we build/dyno. Do not hesitate to reach out with any questions, as we want your time with that engine to be long, healthy, and enjoyable!
