Ordering was simple and I could split the payment, no problem. Delivery was quicker than expected — and you don't pay freight or send the old motor back. Engine was nice and clean on inspection. Very happy with it.

Engine was a good match. Just done the 500km break-in oil change and it's running well. Got the car back on the road fairly quickly — wouldn't hesitate to go this way again. Thanks guys.

As advertised, perfect fitment. Awesome warranty, delivered in 2 days. Somehow it was cheaper and easier to get this new crate engine supplied and delivered than it was to source a second-hand engine. Have recommended to others.

Bought a crate motor for my Hyundai i30 — so far done 30,000km and it hasn't skipped a beat. Would buy again if I needed to.

Very easy to order and get sent straight to my house. When it arrived there was no damage to the packaging and it was very secure on the crate. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a new crate engine.

Byron is exactly who you want to deal with. Straight talker, no nonsense, and always upfront about what's possible and what it'll cost. Couldn't recommend him more.

This CX-7 long motor A professionally reconditioned block with new remaining engine components with a defined supply list. Budget separately for installation, fluids and any external components requiring replacement.
Used engine Ask for service history, condition evidence and written cover. Compare the total installed cost and included accessories.
Rebuild the original Have the workshop assess damage, machining requirements, parts availability and the complete repair quote.

04 / Installation planning

Resolve the cause. Prepare the replacement.

Inspect the turbocharger, oil feed and return, fuel-system operation, cooling system and intake plumbing. Diagnose the cause of the original failure, including contamination or lubrication loss, before commissioning the replacement. Follow the supplied run-in requirements.

01 / BEFORE FITTING

Diagnose the original failure

Low power, smoke, oil consumption or overheating need proper diagnosis. A symptom alone does not establish that the long motor is the failed component.

02 / DURING INSTALLATION

Follow the correct procedure

Use a qualified mechanic, correct fluids and filters, and the supplied installation instructions. Check external components before reusing them.

03 / AFTER FIRST START

Document commissioning

Follow the supplied run-in and service schedule. Retain fitting invoices, checks and service records for future support.
