Engine Rebuilds
Teardown, machine work, and reassembly on the two diesel engines that power our pump trucks and cementers, done at our Whitesboro, Texas shop.
Built Back To Run Like It Should
A tired Detroit 60 Series or Perkins 1106 does not always need to be replaced. Most of what wears out inside a heavy diesel engine can be measured, machined, and rebuilt back to a running standard, and we do that work at our Whitesboro shop rather than sending it out.
Depending on what the inspection turns up, a rebuild can stay in frame, working on the pistons, rings, liners, and bearings without pulling the crankshaft, or it can come out of frame for a full teardown that includes crankshaft grinding and line boring. We tell you which one your engine needs after we look at it, not before.
Both the Detroit 60 Series and the Perkins 1106 are also the two power trains we run in our own New Cementer Builds, so a rebuilt engine from this shop is already matched to how those units are set up.
If the rest of the unit needs attention too, see Equipment Refurbishment for tear downs and repowering. Once your engine is back in service, see Parts Sourcing for the parts that keep it running.
What A Rebuild Covers
- Full teardown and inspection of every major component
- Cylinder boring, line boring, and crankshaft grinding as needed
- New pistons, rings, liners, and main and rod bearings
- Turbocharger inspected and rebuilt or replaced
- Injectors tested, rebuilt, and matched as a set
- Full run in and test before the engine goes back to work
Detroit 60 Series And Perkins 1106 Side By Side
The two engines we rebuild most, and how they typically get used.
| Spec | Detroit 60 Series | Perkins 1106 |
|---|---|---|
| Displacement | 12.7L or 14L | 7.1L |
| Configuration | Inline six cylinder, overhead cam, turbocharged | Inline six cylinder, turbocharged and aftercooled |
| Power Band | 300 to 700 horsepower depending on rating, with oilfield duty ratings commonly running 500 to 700 horsepower at 1800 rpm and peak torque between 1650 and 2050 pound feet | 150 to 275 horsepower depending on the sub variant |
| Typical Duty Use | Higher horsepower pump trucks and cementers that need more throughput | Centrifugal pump and mixing systems on cementer builds |
How A Rebuild Goes Together
Teardown & Inspection
The engine comes down to the block. Every component gets cleaned, measured, and checked for wear.
Machine Work
Cylinder boring, line boring, crankshaft grinding, and deck resurfacing, only where inspection shows it is needed.
Cylinder Head & Turbo
Valves, guides, and seals renewed, and the turbocharger inspected and rebuilt or replaced.
Fuel System
Injectors tested and rebuilt as a matched set, and fuel lines replaced while the engine is apart.
Reassembly
New gaskets, seals, and bearings throughout, torqued to spec with fresh fluids and filters.
Run In & Test
Oil pressure, compression, and leak checks under load before the engine goes back to work.

Why Rebuild With Texas Pump Truck
Rebuilt At One Shop
Teardown, machine work, and reassembly all happen at our Whitesboro, Texas shop, not farmed out between shops.
In Frame Or Out Of Frame
We tell you which rebuild your engine needs after inspection, and do either one, matched to what the engine actually requires.
Matched To Your Build
Detroit 60 Series and Perkins 1106 are the same power trains we run in our own New Cementer Builds, so a rebuilt engine is already matched to how those units work.
Parts You Can Get Later
We carry parts for the engines we rebuild, so keeping it running after the rebuild does not mean hunting for a new supplier. See Parts Sourcing.
Engine Rebuild FAQ
An in frame rebuild replaces pistons, rings, liners, and bearings without removing the crankshaft from the block. An out of frame rebuild pulls the engine down further, including the crankshaft, for machine work such as grinding and line boring.
Yes. Both are engines we run in our own cementer builds, so we work on them regularly and keep the process consistent from teardown to test.
Yes. Injectors are tested and rebuilt or replaced as needed, and the turbocharger is inspected and rebuilt or replaced depending on its condition.
Yes. Every rebuilt engine goes through a run in and test before it goes back to work, checking oil pressure, compression, and for leaks.
In many cases yes, for an in frame rebuild. An out of frame rebuild requires the engine to come out of the truck for a full teardown on the stand.
