Break-In Right
Engine removal and replacement is a job that requires experience and facility. While most remanufactured engines come with a warranty, proper installation and break-in procedures must be followed or the warranty will be void. All reused components must be thoroughly cleaned and checked. The engine oiling system must be properly primed before starting. Many variables such as pre-ignition, a fuel lean-out or a loss in oil pressure can spell the end of an engine before it gets a chance to begin. If proper installation and break-in procedures are followed, a remanufactured engine should provide years of service and is a good choice to keep an otherwise sound vehicle moving down the road.
