Why recycled engines make more sense than ever.

With new car prices climbing year after year, more and more dollar-conscious car and truck owners have grabbed on to what has long been a smart idea: replacing a worn-out engine with a fresh one.

Initial savings can be tremendous, since a “recycled” engine costs only about 10% of the cost of a new car. And your savings will continue, since an engine from a quality-dedicated shop should give you tens of thousands of miles of carefree driving.


If your vehicle is in good shape but your engine isn’t…

If your present vehicle is in good shape except for an ailing engine, replacing your engine is probably your best bet. It doesn’t matter how old or worn-out your engine is. You can exchange a poorly running oil-gulping engine for a carefully remanufactured engine that will deliver “new car” performance.


You’ll be helping the environment.

By purchasing a “recycled engine,” you’ll be saving precious resources and energy, while greatly extending the service life of your car and its parts.

Rebuilt engines of all types with 4, 6 or 8 cylinders are readily available for all popular domestic and important cars, light trucks, vans and sport utility vehicles. Choices include engines with aluminum heads, overhead-cam designs, and other state-of-the-art advances. Even exotic engines with 3, 5 or 10 cylinders can be brought back to like-new condition.


What do you get in a reman engine?

When you choose a reman engine, you kiss your old engine and its nagging problems goodbye. In exchange, you get a "like new" engine that has been completely remanufactured from the block up. In addition to using many new components, the block, crankshaft and other durable parts are cleaned and remachined to original factory specifications.

Typical new components:

In addition, you often get:

  • Gaskets
  • Piston rings
  • Lifters
  • Camshaft
  • Oil pump
  • Timing chain, gears, belt
  • Connecting rod bearings
  • Main bearings
  • Pistons
  • Valve train components
  • Valves
  • Valve seats
  • Connecting rods
  • Crankshaft
  • New spark plugs
  • New air filter
  • New water pump
  • New hoses and belts
  • New motor mounts
  • Oil change and filter
  • New thermostat
  • New anti-freeze
  • New fuel filter
When a rebuilt engine is installed, fuel, ignition and cooling systems are usually checked to be certain everything under your hood is in top operating condition.

Finally, ask for a copy of your written warranty to protect your investment. Add it all up – replacing your engine is almost always the smartest way to go.


Can a "reman" engine perform better than the original?

Yes, it can. Many vehicle owners don’t realize that a renewed engine is assembled to perform as well – or even better -- than the original engine.

Most important, all components that go into a renewed engine are either new or machined to the precise standards and specifications of the new car manufacturer.

Also, engine builders typically install upgraded components to eliminate known problems – like overheating and oil leaks – that may exist in the design of the original engine. Oil flow may be improved. So a rebuilt engine may easily exceed your expectations in performance, economy and trouble-free operation.

A renewed engine is the way to go!
