Question 1

Is remanufactured the same as rebuilt?

Accepted Answer

No, rebuilt engines only have their worn and damaged parts replaced. Remanufacturing, on the other hand, involves tearing down the engine and replacing all the internal parts with OEM equivalents. The remanufacturing process produces an engine that looks, feels, and performs like new.

Question 2

How long do remanufactured engines last?

Accepted Answer

Just like a brand new engine, remanufactured engines can last 200,000 miles or more when properly maintained. When engine remanufacturers address defects from the original building process, like weak rods, the engines can last even longer than they would from the factory.

Question 3

Is remanufactured as good as new?

Accepted Answer

When paired with reverse engineering to resolve issues from the original manufacturing process, remanufactured engines are often better than new. With regular maintenance services, they can stay running strong just as long as new engines, giving you true peace of mind on every drive.

Question 4

What is the difference between a long block and short block?

Accepted Answer

When you buy a short block engine, expect to get the block and all its internals, including the crank and all the pistons with rings installed. If you want the heads, valvetrain, and camshafts as well, then you’ll want to get a long block engine instead.

Question 5

How long will a remanufactured engine last?

Accepted Answer

Since they are built from the ground up using all new parts, remanufactured engines can stay running strong for 150,000 to 200,000 miles. You’ll want to get all the maintenance services done on time by a trusted shop to keep it in good condition and avoid major repair needs.

Question 6

What is the difference between a crate engine and a remanufactured engine?

Accepted Answer

Crate engines are typically built to the manufacturer’s specifications using brand new OEM parts. Remanufactured engines, on the other hand, feature a mix of new and re-machined parts that meet or exceed OEM standards. Since refurbishing fixes faults from the factory, these power plants are often stronger than crate engines.

Question 7

What is an engine core charge?

Accepted Answer

An engine core charge is a deposit that you pay when buying a completely remanufactured engine and serves as a placeholder for your old engine. Once your used engine is shipped to the supplier, they refund the cost of your deposit. If you don’t send them your stock engine, they will use your deposit to buy an engine to rebuild.

Question 8

What is an engine installation kit?

Accepted Answer

Engine installation kits include almost everything you need to drop in your motor for a powertrain upgrade. Depending on the engine, it may include a thermostat, spark plugs and wires, gears, hoses, belts, filters, and more. All that’s left is to purchase the fluids recommended by the original equipment manufacturer.
