Inspection & Testing

Every CPP Diesel takeout engine is carefully inspected, cleaned, painted, and test-run on a stand before shipping. We verify compression, injector, pump, and turbo function for proper operation. Engines are hand-selected and checked for blow-by, bearing wear, and leaks before being approved for sale.

Availability & Lead Time

These engines are not off-the-shelf products. We must locate, remove, inspect, and prepare each engine to order. Availability fluctuates based on sourcing and customization delays. Due to high demand, extended wait times may apply. Please check with us before placing your order to confirm lead time.

Because each build is custom and scheduled, all sales are final. No cancellations or returns can be accepted once your build is in progress.
