Is the engine in your car or late model truck worth rebuilding? Is the time, trouble and expense worth it or should you check one of other alternatives available to you such as a used engine, a full or partial professional rebuild or a factory service like rebuild - many of which now are being done offshore and being shipped back to U.S. automotive consumers?

The do it yourselfer is faced with these options to evaluate when it comes to the dreaded time of a potential engine overall. Most likely you have gotten a good number of relatively trouble free services from your automotive engine and are now faced with the prospect of an engine overhaul. The decision to replace the engine bloc, piston, connecting rod assemblies as well as crankshaft depends on a number of factors, with the number one consideration being the condition of the engine block. Other considerations are cost, ready access to machine and auto shop facilities, parts availability, time required to complete the project and finally the extent of prior mechanical experience on the part of the do-it-yourselfer home auto mechanic.

Next consider the value of the vehicle. It has turned out that frequently the total end cost of the parts required to complete the task of rebuilding the engine is greater and more than the actual value of the vehicle. It can be said that often ego and pride of ownership gets in the way of a fair and true evaluation of the situation, its costs and reasonable conclusions on the suitability of the project at all. As a case in point one proud owner of what might be considered a truck that was long past its prime and in great need of repair convinced himself that expensive repairs were in order by himself when a quick tour of local area junkyards should of convinced that the truck itself could be replaced by any of the similar vehicles that were laying about these auto parts recycling facilities.

In such situations where the cost for a full engine overhaul is greater than the cost of a full and proper engine rebuild one option to consider is a used engine from one of above auto junk yards. True the engine may not have the full engine life of a rebuilt engine but there may be more than enough lifespan in one of these replacements which come at a much lower cost and may indeed outlive the body components and lifespan of the vehicle itself. In addition most of the professional auto parts recycling shops will both have tested and warranty the engine for a reasonable initial automobile test and evaluation time period.

It can be said that the vehicle may seem to have great value to you. The question to ask is "If I sink in this money and time of a full rebuilt engine will anyone pay me more for my vehicle or if I sell this vehicle will I get my money back?" The answer is usually "Probably not". However it can be said that devil you know is better than the devil you do not. You will have a vehicle whose history and maintenance background is well known to you. You will know the quirks and characteristics of the vehicle - of what to expect and what repairs as well are upcoming. Thus said sinking money and time into rebuilding your engine or engine block may make good sense to you overall in the end.

When There's Smoke…in your Car

When your car’s engine suddenly turns up smoke, you need not to panic; and knowing why this happens will help you stay calm.

Smokes in the engine occur because it may be worn. There is a possibility for a worn engine to smoke due to oil leaks into the cylinders around worn valve guides, or worn oil rings, or both. Under these circumstances, white smoke will be produced. This is process is oil burning. This is differentiated from fuel burning, wherein a rich fuel problem creates black smoke.

When you start the engine after it had been resting for hours and you drag white smoke, the problem could be worn valve guides. While the car is at rest, oil that lies on the cylinder leads the leaks into the cylinders. Since the engine is at rest, the oil sufficiently gathers that causes a momentarily smoke once the engine is started.

There is no need to rush or to be hysterical as long as the smoking engine does not affect spark plugs too often and can still pass emission tests. The only bad news is that you cannot use your car for a while to ensure safety. Under this circumstance, it is best to bring your car to a mechanic to immediately resolve the problem.

Sometimes, the problem could be other parts like the muffler. Ask a mechanic to know if your Dynomax muffler already needs a replacement.

When you are on the road and your car suddenly begins to belch out white smoke and something broke, immediately park it and start scheduling a rebuild or a replacement for your engine.

A white smoke coming from your engine implies a tired engine. It therefore needs a complete rebuilding. Unless you can do the rebuilding by yourself through your owner’s manual as a guide, take your car engine to a reliable auto repair shop. Let the cylinders, block deck cylinder head(s), rods, engine heads, and crankshaft be repaired. Buy a master engine kit that contains piston rings, main, rod and camshaft bearing, a new camshaft (stock) and lifters, timing gears and timing chain, oil pump of normal volume, freeze plugs, gaskets and seals. It is also best to have a new water pump.

Keep this in mind: Never ever attempt to rebuild the engine by yourself without properly understanding what are written in the manual and well functioning accurate tools. And if you are doing it for the first time, be sure to have the assistance of someone who has the knowledge on this matter.

Make sure to always rebuild your engine as it was originally built to avoid future damages, minimize cost and effort and to assure longer engine life.

Exact factory replacement engines are available for some cars. And you will be surprised because they are sold under a just enough price. These are known as factory crate engines. These are top of the line brand new engines that are made by the car manufacturers and have a fair warranty. Your car dealer can give you the options. Then canvas the price among dealers and suppliers to find the quality yet affordable one.

Remember not to do a rebuild by yourself when you are not prepared. For sure, you just cannot do the right job and you will probably end up having an injury. A good rebuild needs a quality engine lift and then followed by pulling the engine. You are assured of less hassle in the future when you are able to do the right rebuild.

If your car is high mileage, say over 100K miles, you may pull the engine and transmission together. After doing such, you can rebuild them both at once.

1996 Plymouth Neon Base from North America - Comments
So far I have replaced the transmission, all the gaskets (engine rebuild kit), spark plugs, wires and brake pads. A lot of people look down on the Neon, but I disagree with all of them. If you know what you are doing, a Neon can be a really impressive car.
