Compact yet capable, the Ford Focus and Escape earned Ford a loyal following. Unfortunately, many of their 4-cylinder engines suffered from timing and oil issues that can now be fully corrected with a remanufactured replacement.

Common Problems:
– Timing chain tensioner failures
– Oil starvation due to worn bearings
– Valve seat damage

Why Remanufactured:
Gearhead re-engineers the 2.0L Duratec and 2.5L engines with revised timing and lubrication systems, new pistons, and OEM-quality gaskets for factory reliability.

If your Focus or Escape has lost compression or developed noise, a remanufactured engine restores performance for the long haul.

The full-size Ford Bronco remains a 4×4 legend — and with restored power, it’s better than ever. Whether it’s a 1987 carbureted 5.0L or a 1994 EFI 5.8L Windsor, Gearhead has you covered.

 

 

Common Problems:
– Oil leaks and sludge buildup
– Cracked cylinder heads
– Camshaft and lifter wear

Why Remanufactured:
Gearhead Engines re-machines every Windsor block and head to exact Ford specs, replacing all wear components and testing for compression integrity.

Bring your Bronco back to life with a remanufactured Ford Windsor engine — built for the trail and the road.

The Ford Econoline van family powered tradesmen, delivery fleets, and mobile services for more than 20 years. Built to endure — but even the toughest engines eventually wear down.

 

Engine Families:
– 4.6L & 5.4L Triton V8
– 6.8L V10 Triton
– 7.3L Power Stroke Diesel (E-450)

Common Problems:
– Oil leaks and consumption
– Timing chain and cam phaser noise
– Valve seat wear (V10)

Why Remanufactured:
Gearhead’s replacement engines for E-Series vans are precision-balanced and pressure-tested, restoring torque and dependability — ideal for high-mileage fleets.

Keep your van working, not waiting. Gearhead reman engines deliver performance built to last.

From daily commuting to weekend towing, the Explorer lineup was built for versatility. The 4.0L SOHC and 4.6L V8 engines were strong, but common oil and timing problems emerged with age.

– Valve cover leaks
– Oil pump wear and startup rattle

Why Remanufactured:
Gearhead’s remanufacturing process replaces all guides, tensioners, and seals using updated Ford components and testing each engine under load.

The Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks from 1993 through 2011 have earned their reputation for strength, dependability, and workhorse performance. Whether powered by the 7.3L or 6.0L Power Stroke diesel, or the 5.4L and 6.8L Triton gas engines, these heavy-duty trucks have powered countless job sites and fleets across the U.S.

Engine Overview:
The F-Series Super Duty line includes several engine families — notably the 7.3L Power Stroke (1999–2003), 6.0L Power Stroke (2003–2007), and 6.4L Power Stroke (2008–2010) diesels. Gasoline options included the 5.4L and 6.8L Triton V8/V10 engines, popular among service and utility fleets.

Common Problems:

Why Choose a Remanufactured Engine:
Gearhead Engines remanufactures each Super Duty engine to precise OE standards — addressing every known failure point with upgraded components like head studs, improved valve seats, and premium gaskets. Each engine undergoes hot-run testing and includes nationwide warranty coverage.

Get Back on the Road:
Whether you’re hauling heavy loads or running a business fleet, a remanufactured Power Stroke or Triton engine offers new-life reliability without the cost of a brand-new truck.

Few vehicles represent American toughness like the Ford F-150. For decades, it’s been the best-selling pickup in the U.S. — and from 1994 through 2013, Ford offered an incredible lineup of engines that balanced performance, reliability, and everyday drivability.

Whether you’re hauling a trailer, commuting to work, or taking your truck off-road, the F-150 engine has always been the beating heart that makes it all possible. And when that engine starts to show its age, a remanufactured Ford F-150 engine can give it new life.
