Our engines feature key components like the crankshaft, made from strengthened Centra Steel, boosting the overall reliability and durability of the engine.

We back our products with a straightforward, no-nonsense Aussie warranty. Our one-year warranty provides full protection against manufacturing defects, with free replacement of any faulty parts. No fine print, no runarounds—just honest coverage. If something’s wrong due to how the engine was built, we’ll make it right. That said, damage caused by improper installation, misuse, accidents, or normal wear and tear isn’t covered. To keep your warranty intact, professional installation is a must, and any unauthorized modifications will void the coverage. We take pride in delivering quality, and we stand by our engines with this no-BS guarantee. For full details, visit our warranty page.

What Makes Crate Engines Better then Other Cheaper Options?

At Crate Engines Australia we bring over 17 years of industry experience, coupled with hands-on knowledge gained from our roots in the wrecking yard. Our deep understanding of the industry allows us to offer expertise that cheaper and/or less experienced companies simply cannot match.

Here are 6 Main Reason that CEA is the best option for you: 

  1. Centra Steel Crankshaft:
    Our crankshafts are made from Centra Steel, offering superior compressive strength compared to forged steel, ensuring durability and long-lasting performance.
  2. Precision Tolerances:
    We maintain crankshaft tolerances of no more than 2S, delivering exacting precision that guarantees smoother operation and reduced wear over time.

  3. OEM Precision Design:
    Our engines are built to a 1:1 specification, with 98% of the original OEM design followed, ensuring compatibility and reliability.

  4. Skilled Workforce:
    Every engine is assembled by highly skilled employees with a minimum of 5 years of hands-on engine-building experience, ensuring expertise and attention to detail.

  5. High-Grade Aluminium: 
    We use only high-grade aluminium for the engine head and block (where applicable), ensuring lightweight strength and heat resistance, vital for engine longevity.

  6. At Crate Engines Aus, we do not require an exchange back of your old engine. Many other suppliers remanufacture engines, meaning they take back broken engines, fix them up, and resell them. With us, you’re always getting a brand new engine—no patched-together parts!

Be cautious of cheaper alternatives on eBay / other websites that may appear similar but often have inferior internal structures. These differences can impact the longevity and safety of the part. When comparing prices, it’s important to consider not just the upfront cost but also the quality and reliability of the product.

Remanufactured Options:
When it comes to reliability, remanufactured options are just a band-aid solution—they often carry the same issues that caused problems in the first place. If you’re planning on driving your car often or keeping it long-term, a remanufactured engine simply won’t offer the durability or peace of mind that a brand-new engine provides.
