Base engine prices shown. Core deposit, configuration changes, shipping and tax are additional. Confirm current pricing, fitment and availability before ordering.

Stock rebuild

What goes into the engine

Our stock-rebuild listings describe the work below. Your quote should identify the engine, supplied components and any additional work.

01

Dismantle & inspect

The assembly is stripped and cleaned. Rods and pistons are inspected, and bearing clearances are checked.

02

Block & crankshaft

The listed rebuild includes block honing and a remanufactured, micro-polished crankshaft. The oil pump is rebuilt and tested.

03

Cylinder heads

Each head receives valve work and new valve seals under the published stock-rebuild specification.

04

Replacement components

Listed items include rings, main and rod bearings, head gaskets and bolts, timing chain, guides and tensioner, plus valve-cover and oil-pan gaskets.

Confirm the assembly contents. Turbochargers, injectors, manifolds, wiring, electronics and other external parts are not automatically included because they appear in a photo. Have the supplied components listed in your quote.

Stock replacement or modified engine?

Tell us how the car is used and what has been changed before an engine is quoted.

Replacing a standard engine

Start with the VIN, engine code and reason for replacement. Confirm which original accessories will be reused and which failed components must be replaced.

  • Identify the cause of the original failure.
  • Match the assembly and drivetrain configuration.
  • Obtain the installation and break-in instructions.
  • Review the engine price, core charge and freight separately.

Planning around modifications

Include the tune, turbocharger, fuel-system changes and intended use. A stock-rebuild price is not a quote for forged internals or custom machine work.

  • Specify any piston, connecting-rod or fastener changes.
  • List existing camshaft, valve-train and cylinder-head work.
  • Disclose track use and any power target.
  • Have availability, compatibility and coverage confirmed in writing.

Terms you may see on an engine quote

Short block and long block

These terms describe different levels of engine assembly. Ask for an itemized scope covering the block, rotating assembly, cylinder heads, timing components and external accessories. The name alone does not tell you everything supplied.

Forged components and stock components

Forged pistons or connecting rods are specific hardware choices. They should be named on the quote, with the rest of the build specification. An upgraded component by itself is not a guaranteed horsepower rating or a change to the warranty.

Cylinder sleeves and head work

Cylinder sleeves are liners fitted in the block. Cylinder-head work is a separate area and may involve valves, seals, springs, camshafts or port work. Confirm the required machining and assembly labor separately from the parts price.

Ordering, cores and delivery

Use this checklist to compare the complete job cost before paying for an engine.

1

Send the vehicle details

Include the VIN, engine code, mileage, failure symptoms and photos. Tell us whether you need an engine shipped or want to discuss work at the shop.

2

Review the written quote

Confirm the exact assembly, included parts, core deposit, freight, tax and any installation work. Have availability and estimated timing confirmed for your order.

3

Plan the core return

A core is the original engine returned for inspection and possible rebuilding. Ask which assembly is required, its condition requirements and the return deadline.

4

Arrange transport

Provide the delivery address and explain whether a forklift, loading dock or liftgate is available. Confirm packaging, insurance, freight charges and who books the carrier.

Before the replacement is installed

Photograph the shipment, check the engine identification and compare it with the order. Report damage or a specification mismatch before installation. Keep the packaging and delivery paperwork.

Before the core is collected

Get return instructions first. Keep the required assembly complete, identify it with the order details, prepare fluids and openings as instructed, and secure it for transport. Core credit follows inspection, not simply delivery.

Read core return conditions

Engine questions

Is the listed engine price the total installed price?

No. The displayed amount is the base engine listing price. Core deposits, shipping, tax, installation and additional parts must be confirmed separately. Ask for the total scope before approving the job.

Why do you need my VIN if I know the engine code?

An engine family can cover multiple vehicle configurations. The VIN, production details and original engine identification help check the correct version and the parts needed for installation.

How much is the core deposit?

The amount is quoted for the particular engine and return arrangement. It is not included in the base engine price. Ask for the required core specification and refund conditions before paying.

Can a damaged core still receive credit?

Send clear photos and describe the damage before shipping. Refund eligibility depends on the agreed core conditions and inspection. A returned assembly is not automatically accepted for a full refund.

Can I reuse the parts from the failed engine?

Only after the installer checks their condition and the cause of the original failure. Follow the written requirements for oil-cooler and injector replacement, contamination removal, lubrication and cooling-system checks. Every remanufactured engine also requires a documented break-in oil and filter change at the supplied engine-specific interval.

Installation requirements
What is the turnaround time?

Contact us for availability and an estimate for the exact engine. Assembly requirements, core condition and transport affect the schedule. Do not arrange installation around an unconfirmed dispatch date.

Does an engine come with break-in instructions?

Request the written instructions for the supplied engine before its first start. Confirm the oil specification, initial operating limits and oil-change schedule. Do not use a general online mileage or RPM rule in place of the engine-specific instructions.

Is installation labor covered by the warranty?

The limited engine warranty covers only specified internal parts for 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. It excludes installation labor, diagnosis, removal, freight and related expenses, subject to applicable law. Review the complete warranty and any different terms promised for your order before purchase.
