Replace Or Rebuild ? - Why Rebuild ?
Replace - Rebuild - Why Rebuild - What's in a Rebuilt Engine - Performance

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 import cars, light trucks, vans and sport utility vehicles. Choices include engines with aluminum heads, overhead-cam designs, and other state-of-the-art advances, liven exotic engines with 3, 5, or 10 cylinders can be brought back to like-new condition.
