CAR CARE AND THE ENVIRONMENT A REBUILT ENGINE, THE ULTIMATE IN RECYCLING Many consumers facing major engine damage think that buying a new vehicle is the only solution when, in fact, a remanufactured or rebuilt engine is a greener and more cost effective option. What is a Rebuilt Engine? A rebuilt engine is one that is remanufactured to prescribed standards and specifications by highly-skilled machinists using state-of-theart equipment and components. The engine is completely disassembled, all surfaces and components are machined, cleaned, and reassembled by expert technicians. Critical internal parts are replaced with new ones. Due to redesigning and better quality parts, many times a remanufactured engine will be more efficient than when it was originally installed brand new. Rebuilt Options: * Factory Remanufactured. These engines have been rebuilt/ remanufactured at a factory. Many internal engine parts have been replaced with new ones. These engines have been tested and come with a warranty that usually covers installation expenses. * Custom Remanufactured. The vehicle's engine is removed and rebuilt. Like the factory version, many internal engine parts get replaced with new ones. Going Green: A rebuilt engine not only reuses and recycles an engine, it eliminates the energy needed to process discarded car engines and vehicles, and conserves energy and resources required to manufacture new engines. Rebuilt engines will get better gas mileage and produce fewer emissions than a used engine. Cost Effective: Repowering a typical car or truck with a rebuilt - remanufactured engine costs between $2,500 to $5,000 or about 10 percent to 15 percent of the cost of a new vehicle. Will it last? A rebuilt/ remanufactured engine, with proper maintenance, is capable of lasting as long as a new car engine. They are dependable, reliable and backed by warranty programs. Car Care Guide | 53
