has anybody ever had a reman. engine put in there car, was curious if they were any good, i notice ppl sell their cars right after they have it done.

 

saw a 3.4 stroker motor on ebay, these guys from A.R.I. Racing Engines build em and sell on ebay. Price is $1,200 kinda high for a v6. The guys ebay name is dwa007. You can do a search for him that way.

 

a reman'd engine is an engine that was rebuilt, basically making it new again. if the rebuild was done properly the motor should last a very long time, if done incorrectly the motor is toast.

 

got 18,000 miles on my reman.

 

if your looking at reman engines, talk to a few machine shops and price a rebuild.
That is all you are buying anyway, a rebuilt engine.
And if you want to learn something have the machine shop do the machine work, and rebuild it yourself.

You really do not need a lot of tools. A good basic set and a trq wrench and your good to go. Just have the manual right there, and go step by step. Trust me it is easy, it just scares ya the first time.
Break it down into small steps and assemblies, you'll have it togeather and running in no time.

 

Only problem I have with re-man engines is I know there use to be brand new crate motors on Ebay for $200, should of bought one, should of bought one, I was broke then, now I would buy 3.

Best deal I found on Ebay was $850 shipped for a re-man long block. And if they had them in stock, you could pick the bore. They sell 2.8 3.1 3.4 all the same price. some are 10-20-30 over........... Ebay name enginesdirect

I liked them the best so far because they give lots n lots of details on what they do to the engines.


Still can't decide myself.

 

found a site called jaspers, anyone heard of them? they give u a 3 year/75,000 warrenty.if my motor throws its rod ill probaly buy one from them.

 

jasper makes good motors

 

-edit. I did some searching, and found nothing but good reviews of jasper. I would still be wary of a mass roducing company though.

 

if i get a remanufactered engine im either going with atk or jaspers, they have the best warrenty but i cant figure out why 1 has a $500 price difference?

 

hey i put in reman engines all the time and usally have no trouble i try to buy waranty with them also as i am proffesional mech and want my customers happy

 

do these motors tend to last long? also i was reading that they fix all the problems the factory had with them. if u know anything let me know

 

usally i buy extended warranty with them and so far no problems you can get them at almost all part stores they warranty engines but not labor i try to get 3year 36000 mile warranty its a little extra but not much
