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. |

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! |
