WHEN TO GET

ENGINE REPLACEMENT INSTEAD

Sometimes, saving your motor is not always possible. When the damage is too severe, you’ll need to get your engine replaced instead. 

Some signs you need engine replacement include:

LOW COMPRESSION • BENT CONNECTING RODS • DAMAGE TO THE BLOCK • METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL • EXCESSIVE POWER LOSSES

In some cases, engines completely seize up and fail to turn over, indicating that the internal parts have suffered severe damage.
