Overhaul Kit vs. New Engine – Which is the Best Option
Shipowners are often confused about whether to upgrade to a new engine model or replace the faulty components. When the engine is not performing at its best, the scenario raises an alarm for an overhaul schedule. It all starts with engine diagnosis by a skilled marine engineer or a team. The engineer’s report gives you a hint on what to do next. The boat repair kits are available at a fraction of the cost compared to the price of single-piece spare parts.
Here are a few considerations to determine whether you need a new marine engine. If so, we feature next-generation engines from top brands in our store gallery. Before purchasing a new engine, consider these proven tips to make an informed decision.
Take Time for Engine Audit and Assessment
Before calling a professional for a thorough diagnosis, make an early assessment when your vessel is standing at the port. Here are the eminent factors to consider during the DIY assessment:
- The effort and time taken by the engine to start
- Performance and breakdown history in the past year
- Volume of sound produced during operation
- Condition of the exhaust elbow
- Leaks and fluid spills
- Condition of the mounting units
- The extent of rust formed across various parts
- Condition of the starter system, electrical attachments, and the alternator
The greater the extent of damage identified, the higher the indication for purchasing a new engine. Otherwise, minor issues such as filter clogging, oil spills, and vibrations are efficiently addressed through regular maintenance.
Conduct Compression Testing on the Old Engine
Most marine engineers recommend performing a compression test of the faulty engine to evaluate its capabilities. A compression rating of 10% and cylinder test results within 5% are acceptable. These readings depict that there are no compression issues in your equipment. Minor problems may emerge during the compression testing. In most cases, base-level repairs and replacement can restore the system to a perfectly safe working condition.
Compare the Prices: Replacement Parts vs. New Engine
The marine technician can prepare a list of replacement parts required to refurbish the engine, ensuring optimal performance in the future. Comparing the costs is easy when you get a quote from a trusted marine supplier. Please mention the required part numbers on our site to receive a quote from us.
Some replacement parts may not be available if your engine is too old. The most probable reason is that the manufacturers are no longer making these parts. They may use an NLA (no longer available) tag for the discontinued parts. Rest assured, we have a comprehensive collection of Perkins engine overhaul kits to meet diverse needs.
