Wondering What Does An Engine Rebuild Include?
Is your car losing power on level roads? Is it idling so rough that you’re afraid it’s going to stall at a red light? Even if you have endeavored to keep up with the recommended engine service, just normal wear and tear as the miles add up can allow damage to occur in the engine and you may start to experience some of the problems listed below:
- Excessive smoke billowing out of the tailpipe,
- Loud knocking noises coming from the engine,
- The level of oil is getting too low between oil changes due to burning faster than normal,
- Low oil level causes the engine to overheat frequently.
The good news is that these problems don’t mean that you have to junk your old vehicle and rush out to buy a new one. Even though the cost of a major repair may be high, the cost of a new vehicle may be more than you want to spend, considering a down payment, ongoing monthly payments plus interest, and insurance rates. Restoring your current vehicle with a rebuilt engine could be the better financial decision for you.
So what does an engine rebuild include? It typically means that. . .
- The engine block is actually removed from the vehicle and disassembled.
- All the various components of the engine are then cleaned and inspected to determine their condition, which includes piston rings, bearings, gaskets, seals, camshaft, and crankshaft.
- Damaged parts will be replaced with either new or refurbished parts as necessary. These parts will meet OEM standards.
- The cylinders, including the internal surfaces as well as the cylinder head, will be refurbished so that the new piston rings can form a proper seal.
- The engine will then be reassembled and installed back into your vehicle.
Tip to Remember: Make sure you understand the warranty offered by the auto shop for parts and/or labor. A rebuilt engine has been inspected, and cleaned, with new parts, making it dependable and reliable, as well as covered by a warranty.
