Engine Options:
1.) New Engines (Factory Overstock) -
2.) Remanufactured Engines - These engines are an original engine that has been completely dismantled, then cleaned. The cylinders are honed or bored, camshafts and crankshafts are polished, then usually all other internal components are replaced with new. Including, but not limited to, rods, rings, pistons, bearings, timing components, freeze plugs and oil pump. Most remanufacturers will also include any type of updates to the engine as well. Since most remanufacturers have access to TSB's or Technical Service Bulletins' that are put out by the original manufacturers whenever they may find out a part that has been failing prematurely. Then, they will know to install upgraded parts during the remanufacturing process. When you purchase one of these engines, you usually only receive the "long block" and a new gasket set for the external bolt on components. However, some engines are available with some external components already installed. Warranties on remanufactured engines will vary depending on the supplier and the application of the engine. They usually start at 12 months or 12,000 miles and some companies will go up to 7 years or 100,000 miles. Usually, parts and labor are covered. Some warranties will only cover the parts. If your warranty coverage is for parts and Labor, it is important to know if there is a cap on the warranties hourly coverage per hour. As most companies will cap their hourly rate at $50.00 per hour. This could mean that if your engine fails, and is covered under the warranty, you may have to pay part of the labor charged by the repair shop. Always ask what warranty comes with the engine you purchase.
3.) Used Engines - A used engine is commonly taken from a running vehicle. These are usually purchased at auction and can be from repos, buybacks, trade-ins, transportation damage vehicles, test vehicles and yes, crash vehicles. Alot of recyclers will go through some type of testing, such as compression, leak-down and oil pressure. Most, do not. There are a few who will actually put their engines on a dyno-test to insure they are delivering you a good engine. The majority of the used engines sold may only be run-tested. This means that they started the vehicle and let it run for a short period to make sure there were no knocking noises evident at the time the engine was removed. Used engines usually come fairly complete with all the original brackets, sensors, pulleys, manifolds and any other attached components. Usually, the accessories are removed. Such as the starter, alternator, power steering pump, air conditioning compressor and sometimes the turbo. These parts are left for the convenience of the customer and carry no warranty. It is always best to ask when purchasing. If the used engine you purchased has a warranty, it usually will only cover the "long block assembly". This includes the lower part of the engine, or "short block", and the head or heads. It also includes all internally lubricated components. These components include, but are not limited to, crankshaft, rods, rings, pistons, timing components, valves, ect. Warranties on used engines will vary, depending on condition, mileage, price and different suppliers. If an engine is sold as-is, beware, you are taking a huge risk. We never recommend purchasing any part without a warranty from any supplier. Once again, it's always best to ask when purchasing.
4.) Rebuilt Engines or Reconditioned Engines. These engines are sometimes confused with remanufactured. However, they are very different. We DO NOT recommend purchasing these types of engines. These engines are normally an engine that has failed, and then repaired by a rebuilder. These repairs can be as little as a water pump or a set of bearings. They may clean up the engine or paint it to look nicer than a used engine, but are usually misrepresented to the consumer. Warranties on these engines will be shorter than a remanufactured engine as the builder is gambling that no other components will fail during their warranty period. Buyers beware!
5.) Cores- These engines are ones that have failed or have been damaged due to an accident. A lot of suppliers will require a core in exchange when they send you a replacement engine. This is your old, non-running engine. Some core can be remanufactured, and some cannot. Core engines usually will come with NO warranty. The best thing to know is that you may be unsure of what you don't know. Always ask questions. The more informed you are when you purchase your replacement engine, the better. The only stupid questions, are the ones that aren't asked.
