the engine number will no longer match what the i.d tag has stamped into it
^ Well stated and cannot be explained in better detail... THumbs up
An engine is a motor that converts thermal energy to mechanical work.
if standard engine, you could pull specs for engine online, or any dealer of that vehicle could tell you. should also be in owners manuell if you have it
I'm not an engineer, but I am a mechanic. How about a camshaft and connecting rods, like in a V8 engine?
they all make about 20,000 a tear
Mechanics fix the internal workings of a car (engine, transmission, brakes, ect.), and a body shop repairs and paints the outside of a car.(if you want your car a different color or you were in an accident, or maybe the car is old and eaten up with rust). Body shops may also do detailing, or a thorough cleaning of your car, inside and out.
When the engine stops working, have a qualified mechanic look at it. That person will be able to tell you whether the engine can be fixed or needs to be replaced.
ask a mechanic
no it could keep your electric fans from coming on if your mechanic broke it you should have your mechanic replace it
No. They tell you this so that you'll use a dealership and get charged out the butt for it.
you can only tell by mileage. The timing belt needs to be replaced every 60k miles. Failure to do so can be a disaster to the engine. While your mechanic does this have him replace the water pump and temperature senser as well as these fail frequently and are easy to do when your "in there". All fan belts should be replaced too of course, since your in there.
Yes, as a mechanic at a Dodge dealer I have replaced a few of them.Yes, as a mechanic at a Dodge dealer I have replaced a few of them.
It is illegal to disconnect or in any way, modify the check engine light on any vehicle. Take it back and tell the mechanic to connect the light as it should be or you will report him to the EPA.
White exhaust usually means that there is water in the combustion chamber and there is a crack somewhere. Pull out the dipstick and see if the oil is a milky white. If it is then you have either a cracked head or a cracked block. Heads cam be replaced somewhat affordable by a reputable mechanic, cracked block the engine is toast needs to be replaced.
If the check engine lights are on, that means that there is something wrong. A mechanic can check and tell what is wrong with the car.
I was not aware that headgaskets were repairable. I have always replaced them with new gaskets. If you mean who replaces headgaskets, then that would be an engine mechanic.
Not necessarily. Any decent mechanic can tell you what the problem is.
That's your check engine light. Take it to an auto parts store or mechanic and ask them to scan the codes to tell you what's wrong...auto parts will do it for free, mechanic will probably charge you.
