The original and most trusted 4.2L 40V Chain Driven engine rebuild on the market. With nearly 100 successful rebuilds as of late 2023, we can confidently say we are a master at our craft! All of our rebuilds come with a final build sheet and many pictures of the process to keep for your records. Not knowledgeable in removing your engine and re-installing? Contact us for a turn key rebuild.
We have brought back our non sleeved rebuild program! Non sleeved rebuilds will need to pass our in-house bore measuring inspection and must not have a variance of more than 0.0010" within a single bore. Engines that do not pass this criteria will either need to be sleeved or a waiver signed to continue the non sleeved rebuild.
Customers must establish contact prior to shipping and purchase the desired engine rebuild stage in full before work begins. Shipping to or from our facility is not included. Local drop off and pick-up is available free of charge. Never shipped an engine? Let us help guide you through the process! We typically see shipping rates between $175-$500 one way within the continental United States. We do offer a 3% discount on all stage build options if customers desire to pay by check or bank-bank transfer options.
Long blocks are to be delivered to us without accessories. Accessories include: Oil Filter Housing, Water Pump & Pump Shaft, Power Steering Pump, A/C Compressor, Alternator & Bracket, Oil Cooler, Exhaust Manifolds, Engine Mounts, Knock Sensors, Intake Manifold, Coil Packs, and Cam Sensors. Spark plugs can be left in the engine, but rebuilds will not include spark plugs.
We offer a 24 month warranty for any of our stage engine builds not used with an aftermarket forced induction system. We cannot warranty engines on forced induction as there are too many issues that can arise from custom tuning which are out of our control. Please ensure you are using new fuel injectors on all engine rebuilds as we do not cover fuel injection related failures. Our warranty does not cover any labor or parts to install/remove the engine from the vehicle. All warranty work is only available at our facility.
Engines must be shipped directly to our facility at the following address. Purchase and tracking needs to be completed and sent to AMTuned prior to engine arrival.

We are the only company in the world utilizing our proprietary block prep service. This in-house developed process allows us to run a factory bore size and not cheat by using a smaller OD sleeve and a tiny piston. This results in engines that are more powerful with factory displacement over the competition. Our service removes the risk of the vapor ports between the bores cracking behind the sleeves and leaking coolant down into the crankcase. Below is a picture of a block that did not have our block prep service. We removed the sleeves to find cracked coolant passages between the bores and visible signs of coolant entering the crankcase.
