While purchasing a rebuilt engine, several issues that the do-it-yourselfer has to contemplate comprises of cost, warranty, parts accessibility and the time it will take for the rebuilder to accomplish the task. The decision regarding whether to change such parts as the engine block, piston/connecting rod assemblies, and crankshaft is conditioned by the final inspection of the engine: if it is diagnosed to be repairable and further service is ordered, it will be an overhaul of the current engine; if it is deemed unsuitable for repair, then the decision will be made regarding an exchange engine. Rebuilding choices contain buying only a particular part of the engine in case if the engine block is solid and most of the engines' parts can be reused; get a short block of an engine that comes with a crankshaft and the piston-connecting rod assemble; get a long block of an engine inclusive of an additional feature like an oil pump and a cylinder head. One of them is to buy the low mileage used Engines which is also cheaper to go in terms of costs and can be obtained from the written-off cars or from areas that have turnover more frequently and these also come with warranty like newly remanufactured ones. Consider which of these would be the best for use and get to consult with auto machine shops, auto part sellers and other rebuilder before purchasing one.

If a short block was obtained, it will be necessary to install the cylinder head, oil pump and pick-up tube, oil pan, water pump, timing chain and timing cover, and valve cover.

Cleaning the engine compartment and engine before beginning the removal helps keep tools organized. This involves tightly wrapping water-vulnerable components and using a spray cleaner, particularly on greasy areas, followed by rinsing and drying important components.

If obtaining a short block, the timing chain, cylinder head, oil pan, oil pump pick-up tube, oil pump, and water pump should be removed to turn in the old short block to the rebuilder as a core.

Loosen front wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle to remove the front wheels and splash shields, and remove the air filter housing.
