What are the signs of engine damage?
Signs of engine trouble include oil leaks, excessive smoke from the exhaust, knocking or ticking noises, overheating and a sudden drop in power or fuel efficiency. A lit check engine light is also a key warning. If you notice any of these, it’s important to have the engine inspected promptly to prevent further damage.
Is it better to repair or rebuild an engine?
It depends on the extent of the damage and the condition of the engine. Minor issues like leaking gaskets or damaged sensors can often be repaired. If internal components like pistons or bearings are worn or failed, a rebuild may be the more reliable long-term option. A qualified mechanic can help assess what’s best for your vehicle and budget.
