How to choose a contract engine?
When an engine fails, this is perhaps the worst thing that can happen to a car owner. If it cannot be repaired, then it has to be changed, but for this you need to choose a new one correctly. The sale of contract engines is becoming quite popular , that is, engines that were in use, but do not have a run in Russia. In order not to face difficulties in subsequent operation, you need to evaluate several important points.
The nuances of choosing a contact motor
First of all, you need to evaluate the appearance of the product. Ford contract engines may have small smudges, traces of oil or dirt, this is not a critical factor. But a clean engine should raise some suspicions, as it can hide serious defects. The presence of traces of sealant on the pallet should alert, because this indicates that the pallet was removed. If it was simply changed, it is not a big deal, but if the engine was being repaired, it should not be purchased.
Pay attention to how easily the engine cranks, if this happens with some difficulty, then it is possible that the engine is not in good working order. Finally, you need to look inside the engine. First you need to ask the seller to remove the valve cover, and then remove the pallet. There should be no oil. The buyer can choose any cylinder and the seller must remove and display it. It should not have scoring and deep scratches, but "fatigue cracks" are not a sign of defects, they are found on almost any used engine.
In conclusion, I would like to note that almost all companies that sell used engines and have a good reputation, as a rule, give a guarantee for their goods. You should also pay attention to this point, and if the seller does not give a guarantee, then this is a reason to think.
