Things to Check For in Used Engines

There are lots of things to check for when looking at used engines. For instance, look for standing water in spark plug wells or in cylinder walls– if there’s water there, the engine probably has water damage or has been neglected and will not work well. You should also look for any broken engine parts or broken housings– typically you’ll notice problems on the cylinder head or where the engine and transmission mounts to the body. Meanwhile, check for collision damage as well. You might not be sure if the engine and gearbox are still operational– it’s a 50/50 chance with that!

What else should you inspect when checking a used engine? Does the engine block or oil pan show signs of damages such as holes? That’s not good. Also, does the engine have any missing parts? You ideally want one that has all of its parts intact. What about the crankshaft? If you can’t spin it by hand, that means the engine probably won’t work well.

Some other things to do when looking over a used engine include checking the dipstick for contamination, removing and checking the oil cap to look for crusty build-up (if it’s there, that’s no good), and removing and checking the spark plugs to ensure that they look normal.
