Engine Repair FAQS
How do I know if my engine needs reconditioning?
The most common signs that your engine needs to be rebuilt are indicators that there are serious mechanical or operational problems occurring. One of the most common noises is a ticking sound that could indicate timing or valve train issues. Lots of smoke in your exhaust could mean that your engine is burning oil or coolant, which could indicate the need for costly rebuilding or replacement of the engine. A strong knocking in time with the RPMs could mean the main bearings are at the end of their life.
What are the signs of engine problems?
There are many signs of engine problems, the most common include:
-
- Smoke in the exhaust
- Ticking or knocking sounds
- Constant overheating
- “Check engine” light coming on
- A sudden drop in fuel efficiency
- Stalling or other performance drops during idle
- Leaking oil
- Excessive vibrations or engine noise
While many of these have more routine explanations or fixes, they may be signs of impending engine issues. Either way, you should make sure to have them looked at by a qualified mechanic.
