FAQ

Can I drive a knocking engine to the shop?

A deep knock under load is bearing damage, and every mile grinds more metal through the oil. Tow it. A light tick that fades once oil pressure comes up is less urgent, though it still wants a listen this week rather than next month.

What should an engine quote include?

The teardown and inspection as a separate line, the parts list, the machine work, all the gaskets and seals, fluids, and anything the shop expects to find. Ask what happens to the price if the block turns out to be scrap, and get that answer before the engine comes apart.

Why did my engine overheat and what now?

Usually a thermostat, a water pump, a fan that stopped turning, or coolant that leaked out. The repair is cheap; the damage from driving on is not. A head that warped or a gasket that let go turns a small job into a big one, so stop the car when the gauge climbs.
