By Jennifer Cole


At certain times in a vehicles life it will suffer a breakdown and in some cases the problem will be a major one that is beyond repair. When this happens and the fault is serious, rather than purchase a brand new power plant you can source and buy rebuilt engines. Using a reconditioned power unit will often save you many thousands of dollars.

There are a couple of places to source a rebuilt power unit and they will all have compatible motors for your vehicle. Buying a new unit for your car, truck or motorbike from the original manufacturer will cost a large amount of cash and the alternative will save money. Most modern vehicles and old models will have a suitable replacement engine that can be installed.

Thousands of bucks can be saved by purchasing a rebuilt motor, and having it fitted, and they are very reliable. A small engine for a motorcycle will cost around twelve hundred dollars, and a larger one for cars and trucks, will be around six thousand. The majority of the companies that supply units will offer a warranty, and this will usually be three to five years, or based on the mileage.

You will probably have an auto parts store in your neighborhood and these are a great place to find a compatible engine. Many of the spares shops will have a good stock of ready to go units to suit at reasonable prices. The people that are employed in the stores will also be on hand to assist with your purchase as well as answering any queries.

Another great place to locate a company to supply you with an engine, is the internet, and there are many firms who specialize in reconditioned units. A large number of web sites can be found that will have a compatible engine. Buying from one of the online suppliers can save you a lot of money but you will need to factor the shipping costs into your budget.

A cost effective way of purchasing a motor is to go to a junk yard or used parts store. Using a reconditioned unit from one of these outlets can save a great deal of money and they may take your existing unit in part exchange. You should note that when purchasing a pre used part for your vehicle, it should be thoroughly inspected by a qualified mechanic to ensure that it will operate safely.

If a complete replacement is not required and part of the unit it can rectify the fault there are other options. All of the suppliers will stock re cycled cylinder blocks and other components to get your vehicle running. If you only need to buy a single part it is advisable to take the old one along for comparison.

Fitting a rebuilt engine into a vehicle will often be a time consuming and difficult task and will need special tools. Many DIY mechanics will do their own installation work but it is advisable to hire a fully qualified mechanic to do the job. By having your mechanical work done by an expert, the job will be done properly and covered by a warranty.
