How to Replace or Buy a New Engine

If you love your vehicle but your engine has gone bad, you may consider replacing the engine instead of buying a new car. The body of your car can last indefinitely and it may be more cost effective to buy a new engine if key components such as the transmission are in good condition. When your options are replacing an engine or junking a car and buying a new one, an engine replacement may be your best bet.

Instructions

1

Confirm that your old engine is beyond repair, or is going to cost so much to fix that you may as well replace it. Some engine problems can be repaired, and you should do so if it is feasible.

2

Research your engine options. Your vehicles make and model will determine the engine you need, but you can opt to buy a refurbished engine, an engine from a salvage yard or a brand new factory direct engine. Dont attempt to buy an engine from a junk yard unless you are a qualified mechanic. Rebuilt engines are often as good as new, but a brand new engine from your cars manufacturer is ideal. A new engine is the most expensive option, however.

3

Buy the engine. Do not try replacing the engine yourself unless you are mechanically inclined and experienced. Otherwise, you risk costing yourself even more money when you have to take your car to a mechanic to complete the project.

4

Have the car and engine delivered to a trusted mechanic. You can purchase the engine yourself and supply it to your mechanic, who will then perform the replacement for you. Make sure there is oil in the new engine before starting it for the first time or you can damage the new engine.
