Rebuilt Diesel Engines A Cost Effective Solution

By Kenneth Adams


If your car ever breaks down it is not always possible to fix the problem quickly or easily. A catastrophic failure may require all or parts of the main block to be replaced which can work out extremely expensive. One way to minimize the financial outlay is to utilize rebuilt diesel engines.

It could be that the entire unit is not damaged and replacing just the block, casings or the head may solve the problems. Factory made units can run into thousands of dollars, so replacing the damaged components could save you a small fortune. Replacement parts will range in price depending on the components required to fix the particular fault.

Your local mechanic shops will be able to offer a service where they will rebuild your engine and it can be worth shopping around to get a good deal. The other route is to check the online sites as a large number of these have reconditioned motors in stock. This can often be a better option as in most cases it will avoid having to send away your old power plant.

If you decide to have a local company or one you found online perform the rebuilding then the work should be covered by some guarantees. This will either be time based or mileage based up to 100K miles. When selecting this route you should check to see if any future maintenance also needs to be carried out by the company to keep the guarantees valid.

An engine rebuild is by far a cheaper method of getting a diesel vehicle back on to the roads but it should be noted that if it is not a factory original it can affect the value of the car. Also with some classic vehicles some clubs will not allow it to be entered into a competition after these changes. It is a legal requirement to inform your insurers as the serial numbers of the main block will be different to the numbers currently on their records.

For popular cars, rebuilt engines for a diesel car will vary in price from the 1500 dollar mark rising to about 6000 dollars. Power plants for old vehicles and rarer models will generally be more as they are much harder to source and some expert knowledge is needed for the assembly. Motoring clubs and other vehicle organizations will be more than happy to offer advice on any work you plan to do to an older car.

If you need to send a block away for a rebuild you may need to have a qualified mechanic or auto repair shop remove it from your car instead of trying to do it yourself. They will have all of the correct tools and can extract it safely ready for shipping. This job can be done in your own garage if you have all of the specialist tools and heavy lifting gear you will need.

When you are calculating the cost of shipping an engine, bear in mind that all parcels will be charged according to their weight. A lot of the reconditioning companies often offer free carriage to and from their premises, and this can save some money. Always make sure that all of the parts you send are correctly packaged in a safe manner and that all packages are covered by goods in transit insurance.
