Finding And Purchasing Rebuilt Engines

By Jennifer Cole


At certain times in a vehicles life it will suffer a breakdown and in some cases the problem will be a major one that is beyond repair. When this happens and the fault is serious, rather than purchase a brand new power plant you can source and buy rebuilt engines. Using a reconditioned power unit will often save you many thousands of dollars.

There are a few places to start looking for a replacement engine for your car, bike or pick up. Buying a brand new manufacturer engine is extremely expensive and many firms now offer an affordable alternative. Most vehicles that are in production and a large number of older models will have a suitable unit available that is ready to install.

Thousands of bucks can be saved by purchasing a rebuilt motor, and having it fitted, and they are very reliable. A small engine for a motorcycle will cost around twelve hundred dollars, and a larger one for cars and trucks, will be around six thousand. The majority of the companies that supply units will offer a warranty, and this will usually be three to five years, or based on the mileage.

The first place to look for a reconditioned unit is an auto store or spares shop in your local area. The majority of stores will have suitable units in their stock that are ready to be fitted. The benefits of outlets such as these are that their experienced sales staff will be available to advise you on your purchase and answer any queries.

Another great place to locate a company to supply you with an engine, is the internet, and there are many firms who specialize in reconditioned units. A large number of web sites can be found that will have a compatible engine. Buying from one of the online suppliers can save you a lot of money but you will need to factor the shipping costs into your budget.

Another good place to find a replacement motor is to search local junk yards or scrap dealers. A large amount of money can often be saved, and in a lot of cases they will have units ready to fit, and they may take your old one to rebuild. You should be mindful that buying a used engine can be a risk so it is recommended that you have it inspected by a trained mechanic before purchasing.

If a complete replacement is not required and part of the unit it can rectify the fault there are other options. All of the suppliers will stock re cycled cylinder blocks and other components to get your vehicle running. If you only need to buy a single part it is advisable to take the old one along for comparison.

Installing an engine is a specialized job and will take a fair amount of time and it will require some specialist equipment. A lot of home mechanics will choose to the job but it is preferable to get a professional engineer to do the work. This will ensure that any future failures are covered by the guarantees provided.
