Diesel engines are the backbone of South Florida’s construction and marine industries. Bulldozers, excavators, tractors, tugboats, and commercial fishing vessels all depend on reliable diesel power. But over time, wear and tear can lead to power loss, poor fuel efficiency, or complete failure. That’s when a Diesel Engine Rebuild Miami becomes the best solution.

At Con-tractor Equipment, we specialize in rebuilding diesel engines for heavy equipment and marine vessels across Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Homestead, and Naples.

Why Choose a Rebuild Instead of Replacement?

Engine replacement is expensive and often unnecessary. A professional rebuild provides:

  • Extended equipment life at a fraction of replacement cost.

  • Restored performance with new seals, gaskets, and components.

  • Better fuel efficiency through precision calibration.

  • Compliance with emissions standards under EPA diesel regulations.

Rebuilding is especially valuable for Caterpillar, John Deere, and Cummins engines commonly used in Miami’s construction and marine fleets.

Our Services cover complete rebuilds, including:

  • Full disassembly and inspection

  • Cleaning and machining of components

  • Cylinder head and block repairs

  • Replacement of worn pistons, rings, and bearings

  • Turbocharger and injector replacement if required

Case Study – Marine Engine Rebuild in Miami Beach

A commercial fishing vessel in Miami Beach suffered severe power loss due to worn injectors and piston rings. Instead of replacing the engine, our team performed a full rebuild dockside. The overhaul restored fuel efficiency, increased horsepower, and extended the engine’s lifespan by an estimated 10 years.
