๐ง SCANIA R580 V8 | COMPLETE ENGINE REBUILD ๐ง
Last week we took on a slightly bigger job than your average roadside repairโฆ
This Scania R580 V8 came to us pressurising the cooling system and losing coolant. After investigation, the fault was traced to a failed liner seal, meaning it was time to get properly stuck into the V8.
The engine was stripped right down, including:
๐น All 8 cylinder heads removed
๐น Injectors, manifolds and associated components removed
๐น Pistons and liners removed
๐น Full clean and preparation
๐น New liners and seals installed
๐น New pistons fitted to the conrods
๐น Engine completely rebuilt
๐น Fresh oil, filters and coolant
๐น Fully tested and checked after completion
A serious amount of work, but the end result was exactly what we wanted. The R580 is back together, running perfectly and back out working at 100%. ๐ช๐
We filmed the rebuild along the way too. Thereโs a 4-part series over on our TikTok showing the process from stripping the V8 down to getting it fired back up again. ๐ฅ
From routine maintenance and diagnostics to major engine repairs, weโve got it covered.
