Buying a used engine: what to check

  1. Ask for a compression or leak-down test result. Reputable yards test engines before sale.
  2. Under 100K miles is the sweet spot for a used engine; insist on documented donor mileage.
  3. Confirm what's included: manifolds, sensors, and accessories vary by yard and change the real price.
  4. Match the engine code exactly. The same model year can ship with multiple displacements.
  5. Budget for new gaskets, seals, and fluids on installation; they're cheap insurance on a used engine.
