Under What Circumstances Does an Engine Need to Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Here are the situations that require engine replacement: 1. Complete engine water ingress: Water enters the cylinders through the intake manifold, shortening the piston stroke, which can lead to bending or breaking of the engine connecting rods. In extreme cases, broken connecting rods may fly out and penetrate the engine block. Restarting the engine under such conditions can easily cause cylinder explosion. 2. Excessive repair costs: When the repair cost is higher than or close to the replacement cost. 3. Malicious alteration of engine-related numbers: If the vehicle is stolen and the engine-related numbers are destroyed through illegal means, an application can be made to replace or restore the engine-related numbers.
