There are many possible reasons that people have for looking for replacement engines.

Many times a replacement engine is needed if the original engine in the vehicle has failed. Engine failure can be attributed to two main categories. The first most common cause of engine failure is simply lack of proper servicing. The second common cause of failure is damage to the engine through a secondary factor.

Proper servicing is crucial to the longevity of any engine. The best advice you can take is to shorten the times in your service manual. We have seen many different engines fail even when people service at the intervals in the service manuals. For lack of a better reason it is simply because they list the intervals as too long. If you think about it, some service manuals actual list service intervals as high as 1200 miles between oil changes. Some people don’t drive 1200 miles in an entire year. This leaves a problem, did you know that even while the vehicle is not being driven, the oil’s lubricating capabilities are deteriorating?. This is because inside of an internal combustion engine, many different chemical reactions are taking place after the engine is first started. The vehicles fuel (either petrol or diesel) slowly seeps into the crankcase, carbon builds up inside combustion chambers and circulates through the oiling system. All these different chemicals break down the oil regardless of if the engine is running or not. So even if you are not driving the vehicle you should change your oil a minimum of every 6 months to ensure the life of the engine. Otherwise a standard rule of every 3000-5000 miles should be followed. 3000 for vehicles using conventional oil and 5000 miles for those who use synthetic oil or one of the many blends available.
