Engine

Hi! this is Bo with Car Genius at RepairPal! YES! You can definitely rebuild your engine instead of buying a new one. There are all kinds of rebuild kits available! These kits typically include components like pistons & rings, bearings, and a full sealing set with upper and lower gaskets. However, it’s important to note that rebuilding an engine requires a good amount of mechanical knowledge and skill. If you’re comfortable with this, then it could be a cost-effective solution. If not, you might want to consider hiring a professional to do the job to ensure it’s done. Also, keep in mind that the cause of the loose rod bearing should be properly diagnosed. While lack of oil could be a cause, there could be other factors involved as well. It’s always a good idea to get a professional opinion before proceeding with major engine work. If you have any other questions feel free to give us a call at 877-913-1554! We'll be happy to help or find you a certified shop in your area!
