When the engine fails and does not normally repair it, it usually raises the question of expensive and complex remonstrates. However, even "capital" does not guarantee that the engine will recover by 100% and will produce exactly the same values as before repairs. In addition, after major repairs, it is not expected that the engine will live happily ever after: after the "capital", the life of the engine is drastically reduced.

Another option is to buy and install a contract engine. This way of prolonging the life of the car is not so widespread in our country.

The contract engine is exactly the same engine as your car, legally removed from the other car and sold in the assembly (sometimes even directly with hinged equipment). In fact, the installation of a contact engine on a car can be compared to a human heart transplant: the new "organ" is fully appropriate for all parameters and must function in the same way as the past.

Naturally, the contract engine is a run-run. Most of the time, it is removed after a car accident, when the car was severely damaged and the motor was not damaged or disposed of. The contract engine usually buys in Europe or Japan.

To buy a Japanese or a European contract engine, it is necessary, first of all, to know exactly what kind of engine you need. It is necessary to know the exact composition and modification of the engine, the year of production, as well as the market for which the car was produced. If the characteristics of the "donor" and "recipient" are at least the slightest differences, there is a great risk that the engine will not work.

You can buy a contract engine in one of three ways:

  • to go to Japan alone or to Europe,
  • order engine at auction or by advertisement,
  • Confidence in the purchase of a contract engine by a special firm.

The advantage of the mediator is that, first, it takes on all the difficulties associated with the selection, processing and delivery of the powertrain, second, gives the guarantee on the purchased engine and, in the third, it will be able to change the unreached engine or return the money.

It is better if the contract engine is to be sold with the hinged equipment: its installation procedure will be much easier.

You can install a contract engine on your own or on a service. If you are not sure of your own strength, it is better to entrust this job to professionals: they will in any case guarantee their work, and they may be able to make a claim in the event of unforeseen circumstances.
