Yes, this engine is remanufactured with several key upgrades for improved durability over the factory LML engine, most notably the valve stem seals. — While this is an OEM-spec replacement, not a high-performance build, it incorporates specific enhancements based on common LML failure points. The most significant upgrade is the use of superior L5P-style top-hat valve stem seals, which provide better sealing and oil control than the original LML design. Additionally, the block and cylinder heads undergo extensive preparation: — • The block is fully disassembled, cleaned, and precision machined. • Cylinder heads are resurfaced, and valve seats are recut for a perfect seal with the new valves. • It is assembled with high-quality Tier-1 head gaskets. • All wear items are replaced with new components, including bearings, thrust washers, lifters, valve springs, and freeze plugs.
