YOU "AUTO" KNOW

Are you considering a replacement engine? If you've gotten all the miles you can out of your engine, your are now faced with the decision to replace your vehicle or your engine. Decisions, decisions! These days, you can't even go to the grocery store without having to make decisions. "Paper or plastic?" Just bag it, right! Well, we can help you come to a simple conclusion. Remanufacturing has become an increasingly popular option as manufacturer's turn out "like new" engines at a fraction of the cost of a new vehicle.

Each year, millions of vehicles, basically in good condition, have their tired, high mileage, oil burning engines replaced with remanufactured engines which may very well be your best transportation value. Even if other repairs may be needed, keeping your vehicle is nearly always economically, the best way to go today. Remanufactured engines are a very smart and economical choice when you consider the alternative of new car payments. Not to mention, the added benefits to the environment from the spared process of remelting or dumping of these metals and other materials.

Remanufactured engines are completely renewed from the block up. This process involves many durable parts such as the block, cylinder heads, crankshaft and connecting rods which are cleaned, tested and completely remanufactured to manufacturer's original specifications and production standards. Crankshafts are reground and micro-polished to 8-12 micro-inch finish. Reconditioned connecting rods are balanced in sets to within 7 grams. Valve seats are machined to "triple angle" precision for best performance and valve seat life. Many new components include pistons, rings, bearings, camshaft, valve lifters, oil pump and push rods. As a result, remanufactured engines are as good as new or, often, even better due to defects
found in the original manufacturing process which are then corrected when remanufactured.
