Engine
Factory trained technicians with precision gauging and proper assembly fixtures
carefully assemble all Cobra engines to specific clearances. If you feel you have
the skills, and the appropriate tools, to perform the following service tasks please
follow the instructions closely. The part numbers are listed throughout to help you

If you don’t feel comfortable with the service work, simply take your engine out of

Cobra’s technicians will go through the entire engine, replacing gaskets, bolts,
any old part that is worn. The engine will be rebuilt using the same precision

your engine is operating at its highest potential. All this for one low nominal fee,
plus cost of parts. Call (330) 549-9600 for details.
