What Engine Parts Should You Always Have in Stock? 

It is no secret that over time, everyday wear and tear on your vehicle will lead to engine maintenance. Often, people give up and sell to salvage yards, or trade–in an older car with the assumption that if the engine is not starting, or it is frequently failing, then their entire car must be broken and should be completely replaced. However, this is not so. In many cases, if you simply rebuild or replace the engine, an old car can last many more years. Swapping in quality engine parts can extend the life of a car, so your customer can hold onto precious memories made in that vehicle. A quality engine rebuild can preserve the car they road tripped in or drove in high school, well into their later adult life.  

Enginetech engine parts have a lifetime guarantee when professionally installed. 

Of course, when a customer brings their vehicle into an engine service shop, every part of the engine is inspected and anything out of sync is typically reworked or replaced. However, some engine parts are more commonly replaced than others. Enginetech sells more of these parts than any others in our catalog. 

Here is a list of the most replaced engine parts that you should always have on hand in your shop: 

• Gaskets – Enginetech gaskets help you build better engines, faster.  Our rebuilder’s gasket is designed specifically for the rebuilder with superior design and materials. Unlike OE designs, the Rebuilder’s Gasket is designed for and works better on rebuilt engines. 
• Head Bolts – Many later model engines require torque-to-yield (TTY) head bolts that are only good for one-time use and should be purchased every time you remove a cylinder head.  These bolts must be torqued to an exact specification and an exact sequence to ensure a proper seal of the head gasket.  Some engines, especially those with aluminum heads and MLS head gaskets, require more clamping strength because of increased expansion. Torque-to-yield head bolts are designed to achieve maximum clamping strength when they are stretched to their “yield” point. 
• Pistons – Enginetech specializes in providing high performance engine pistons for engine rebuilds for domestic, import, and high-performance applications. 
• Piston Rings – Only the best materials are used for Enginetech piston ring sets. Our compression rings are made from the highest quality gray iron, ductile iron, and high strength steel.
