Abstract:
Automobile and truck engines often wear out before
the useful li_fe of the vehicle is over. Rather than
purchase a new engine, it is possible to have the old
engine rebuilt or have it replaced with another rebuilt
engine of the same type.
The rebuilding of a vehicle engine at a garage by a
trained mechanic is often difficult and expensive since
the necessary machinery may not be on hand. Also, a
garage cannot afford to stock the many different and
expensive engine parts that may be required in
rebuilding the engine and the vehicle ~ill be out of
service while new parts are ordered. Therefore, the
garage will normally send the engine to a specialized
engine rebuilder for repair or exchange with another
rebuilt unit.
