Whether you plan to keep or sell your car, continued operation in this instance will require engine overhaul or replacement. The basic options are: a) rebuild the same engine, b) replace it with a locally rebuilt engine c) install a factory supplied remanufactured engine d) install a new engine e) install a used engine. New engines are not available for all makes/models and can be much more costly than all other options.

That depends on your financial situation, the overall condition of the car, and your personal preferences. Engine replacement is more affordable than people realize and has become one of the fastest growing segments of the automotive industry. It can save you tens of thousands of dollars compared to buying a new car. Just as there are many new car owners who invest in other key components such as transmissions and clutch assemblies, millions of owners each year elect to replace their worn out or damaged engines as well. As a rule, replacing the engine only makes good economic sense if the rest of the car is in relatively good condition and will have a market value close to blue book after installation.

Be sure to ask the installer before you commit. Warranty for a rebuilt engine is normally provided only by the local installer and may be shorter in duration. A remanufactured engine should carry a nationwide or regional guarantee backed by the engine maker.

A quality remanufactured engine, with proper maintenance, is capable of lasting as long as a new engine. Rebuilt engines, lesser quality remanufactured engines, or used engines are less predictable and may only last through the limited warranty period or not much beyond. Much depends on the skill and experience of the rebuilder or the quality/mileage of the used engine. Life expectancy may vary a great deal.
