No engine, no matter how well it is constructed, will last forever and will need some type of engine service. Even high performance ulra-high-end ones will eventually wear out and need an engine repair. An engine is composed of many precisely machined moving parts that work together under extreme conditions harnessing the power of internal combustion. If your car has seen better performance days, it may be time to consider an engine rebuild.

An older or high-mileage vehicle can often be given a new lease on life with either a major engine repair or engine rebuild. There are factors to consider and remember before you make that decision, such as; the current operation and functionality of other vehicle components, and whether the vehicle's interior and exterior condition is in good working condition. Going to all the work and expense of an engine repair or engine rebuild when the vehicle already has other major mechanical issues, can amount to a very expensive and time-consuming mistake. On the other hand, an engine rebuild may be the wisest move if you've recently invested in a transmission service or replacement of major system components, and have the engine die on you. You will want to consider all the various angles before making your final decision about the type of engine service required.

The Long and the Short of It -

Remanufactured engines are available in two modes: long, and short. A "long block" is a complete engine assembly from 'A' to 'Z'. A "short block" consists of just the lower block components. The block and rotating assembly of crankshaft, connecting rods and pistons make up the bottom end. Your choice depends on which part has failed, or how worn out it is overall. If you recently replaced a cylinder head and the piston rings start burning oil, expels a connecting rod, or burns a bearing, you may only need a short block. However, in most cases the long block is the most cost-effective choice even it may be the most expensive option initially.

Unless you are a highly qualified and experienced auto mechanic, you will want to consult your auto repair shop for their assessment and recommendation as to the type of engine service will be the best way to go!
