The Fundamentals
What is a remanufactured engine?
A remanufactured engine is an engine that has been completely disassembled, cleaned, measured, and restored to the manufacturer's original specifications. Every critical surface is inspected and machined, and all standard wear items — bearings, seals, gaskets, rings, and more — are replaced with new parts. It is the most thorough way to return an engine to like-new condition without the price of a brand-new crate engine.
This is fundamentally different from a used or "junkyard" engine, which is simply pulled from another vehicle and resold with an unknown service history and unknown remaining life. A remanufactured engine starts from a known baseline: factory tolerances, verified clearances, and fresh components throughout. That is why a quality remanufactured engine can match the dependability of a new one while costing significantly less.
Why Fraser Is Superior
The Fraser remanufacturing process
Superior engines come from a disciplined process, not shortcuts. Every Fraser engine moves through the same controlled build sequence — and the order matters. Each stage depends on the one before it, which is how we deliver consistent, repeatable quality across thousands of engines.
Step 01
Complete teardown & cleaning
The core is fully disassembled down to the bare block. Decades of carbon, oil, and contaminants are removed through industrial cleaning so every surface can be inspected honestly — no hidden wear, no guesswork.
Step 02
Inspection & precision measurement
Each component is gauged against factory specification. Blocks, cranks, heads, and rods that fall outside tolerance are machined back to spec or rejected outright. Marginal parts don't make it into a Fraser engine.
Step 03
Machining to OEM tolerances
Critical surfaces are remachined — decking, boring, honing, and resurfacing — so clearances match original-equipment standards. Precise tolerances are what give a remanufactured engine its compression, oil control, and long-term durability.
Step 04
New wear components installed
Bearings, rings, gaskets, seals, and other standard wear items are replaced with new parts — never reused. These are the components that determine how long an engine lasts, so they start fresh every time.
Step 05
Balancing & assembly
Rotating assemblies are balanced and the engine is reassembled by experienced builders to controlled torque and clearance specs. Proper balancing reduces vibration and wear, protecting the engine for the long haul.
Step 06
Testing & quality control
Before it ships, the engine is tested and given a final quality check. You receive an engine that has already proven it runs right — not one you're hoping comes to life in your bay.
Make the Smart Choice
Remanufactured vs. used vs. brand-new
When an engine needs replacing, you have three real options. Here's how a Fraser remanufactured engine compares to a used engine and a brand-new crate engine on the things that actually matter.
| Fraser Remanufactured | Used / Junkyard | Brand-New OEM | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | Strong value | Low upfront | Highest |
| Rebuilt to factory specs | Yes — fully | No | Yes |
| New wear components | Yes | No | Yes |
| Known history & condition | Yes — verified | Unknown | Yes |
| Tested before shipping | Yes | Rarely | Yes |
| Warranty | Yes — up to 5 yrs | Limited / none | Yes |
| Availability | Nationwide, in stock | Hit or miss | Often back-ordered |
A used engine may look cheaper today, but you inherit someone else's wear and no real protection if it fails. A new crate engine is excellent — and priced accordingly. A Fraser remanufactured engine sits in the sweet spot: new-engine quality and a warranty, without the new-engine bill.

Answers
Remanufactured engine FAQ
What is the difference between a remanufactured and a rebuilt engine?
A rebuilt engine usually replaces only the parts that failed, leaving the rest of the engine at its existing wear level. A remanufactured engine is returned fully to OEM specification: the block and components are machined to precise tolerances and all standard wear items are replaced. That complete, standardized process is what makes a remanufactured engine more consistent and longer-lasting.
Are remanufactured engines reliable?
Yes. Because a Fraser engine is machined back to factory tolerances, fitted with new wear components, and tested before it ships, it delivers reliability comparable to a new engine — and far more dependability than a used engine of unknown history.
How much can I save versus a brand-new engine?
A remanufactured engine typically costs significantly less than a new OEM crate engine while delivering comparable quality. The exact savings depend on your specific engine, so the best step is to request a quote or call a specialist for current pricing.
What warranty comes with a Fraser remanufactured engine?
Fraser remanufactured engines are warranty-backed, with a 5-year warranty option available. Coverage can vary by application, so contact a specialist at 800-731-3177 to confirm the right warranty for your engine.
Do you ship engines nationwide, and who can buy?
Yes. Fraser ships nationwide from 27 locations and sells to the public, independent auto centers, and wholesalers. You can order online any time or speak with a US-based specialist during business hours.
