Make Sure Your Used Engine is Installed Right.
There's not too many people with the time, skills, place, and tools to swap out an original engine for a re-manufactured gem. The lucky ones who do, though, can take pride and save lots of money by doing it themselves. Read on to find out how.
Why a used or rebuilt engine? Well, for starters, in many cases they actually have better reliability than when the engine was first installed from the manufacturer. Rebuilt engines include upgraded parts that the manufacturer has approved of since some of the original equipment has been found faulty. The bugs have been worked out.
Whether you call it rebuilt, used, re-manufactured, or recycled - it's yours to tune, tweak, and squeeze more horses out of. Make it as fast and smooth as your talents allow.
I've got to tell you, this whole "cash for clunkers" thing kind of irritates me. It's supposed to be a way to help the environment. But if you ask me, changing out your old engine makes more sense and saves money. Haven't they been telling us it's very important to recycle? That will help the environment more by keep more cars on the road to get people to work.
Heres the way we do it and ask that our customers replace their engines with remanufactured engines. Remember that used engines are sold as longblock engine assemblies. That means that there are cylinder heads, engine block and all internal components.
Here's a pre-installation checklist that will help save you a lot of grief.
Heres how to install your remanufactured engine.
1. Flush cooling system prior to installing engine to remove any debris left over the the previous engine. 2. Clean or replace oil strainer and pick screen. 3. Replace oil pan gasket and rear main seal. 4. Drain and replace engine oils to manufacturers suggested levels. 5. Replace the oil filter. 6. Timing belts, water pump, thermostat, spark plugs, fluids and seals are routine maintenance items and should be replaced at the time of installation and at the vehicle manufacturers recommended service intervals. 7. Replace any water hoses or vacuum lines that need replacing. 8. Prior to starting engine prime oils system and check to be sure you have oil pressure. 9. Proper operation of the cooling and electrical system must be checked during the installation of products that can be affected by those systems. 10. Replace valve cover gasket as needed. 11. Install new belts and hoses.
Get this right and that old friend of yours will give you years of service and pride in having done it yourself. - 21392
