THE REBUILD

Torn down, measured, built right

Every Detroit we rebuild gets torn down, measured, machined, and torqued to spec. No shortcuts, no surprises, just a factory-correct rebuild you can trust.

Bores, decks, and line bores are machined to factory spec so the block is straight and true before reassembly.
