Engine Overhaul
Engine Overhaul in Singapore
Top overhauls, full engine overhauls and engine swaps at our Defu Lane workshop. We diagnose the engine properly before recommending any work.
Common symptoms
Signs your engine needs attention
These symptoms can point to worn internal parts. A proper diagnosis tells you whether you need a top overhaul, a full overhaul or a smaller repair.
- Blue or white smoke from the exhaust
- Engine oil level dropping between services
- Loss of power or poor acceleration
- Knocking or tapping sounds from the engine
- Overheating or coolant loss
- Engine warning light that keeps coming back
Top overhaul, full overhaul or engine swap
Top overhaul
The engine stays in the car. We work on the upper part of the engine, replacing valves, gaskets, timing components and other worn parts.
Full overhaul
The engine is removed and taken apart. We replace damaged parts and rebuild it.
Engine swap
When an overhaul is not worth it, we can fit a used or reconditioned engine in line with LTA rules and regulations.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a top overhaul and a full overhaul?
A top overhaul fixes the upper part of the engine while it stays in the car. A full overhaul removes the whole engine, takes it apart and rebuilds it, so it costs more and takes longer.
How long does an engine overhaul take?
Usually 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the work needed and how quickly parts arrive.
Can you replace my engine instead?
Yes. We carry out engine swaps with used or reconditioned engines, following LTA rules and regulations.
Can I supply my own parts?
Yes, but parts supplied by the customer are not covered by our warranty.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes. We accept Atome, so you can split the bill into instalments. We also accept cash, scan to pay and bank transfer.
