Short Block vs. Long Block Engines

Discover the essential differences between short block and long block engines to make an informed choice for your vehicle.

A short block includes the engine block, crankshaft, pistons, and piston rods, with some variations offering additional components like the camshaft and timing chain.

In contrast, a long block encompasses everything in a short block, plus the cylinder head, valves, and more, making it a comprehensive solution for those seeking a complete engine replacement.

When deciding between the two, consider your budget and needs.

  • A short block can be a cost-effective option for DIY enthusiasts looking to customize their engine.
  • While a long block is ideal for those wanting a straightforward replacement without the hassle of additional upgrades.

Always remember to check with the seller for a detailed list of included components to ensure you get the best fit for your project.

What to do if your engine dies while driving?

If your engine stops while you’re on the road, here’s what to do:
  • Activate your hazard lights
  • Stay composed
  • Safely pull over to the side
  • Shift into neutral or park
  • Attempt to restart the engine
  • If it doesn’t start, reach out to a towing service
  • Have a mechanic inspect your vehicle
Keep in mind that losing engine power may affect your steering and brakes, so you’ll need to exert more effort to control and stop the car. You can steer firmly and use the car’s momentum to move off the road.
Added tip: If you notice metal shavings in the oil, it indicates that the engine may need replacing, as these shavings can cause further damage.
If your engine fails, it might be a good idea to consider replacing it entirely.

Driving Happily Ever After

If you want to add more years to the relationship between you and your car, give it a little extra attention this Spring in the form of an oil change, tune-up, or other service to make sure it runs happily ever after. Just a little extra care can lead to a longer life for your car.

There’s no debating the value of preventive maintenance to keep your car running efficiently. By giving your vehicle a little more attention now, you’ll avoid the unexpected expense of car trouble down the road.

The Car Care Council recommends you treat your car to regular care this Spring and beyond.

  • Schedule a tune-up annually to optimize your car’s performance. A well-tuned engine delivers the best balance of power and fuel economy and produces the lowest level of emissions.
  • Change the oil and filter per the owner’s manual. Periodic oil and filter changes keep your engine clean on the inside.
  • Check the tire pressure monthly, including the spare. Your car’s tires affect its ride, handling, traction, and safety.
  • Have the alignment checked annually. Potholes and other road conditions, as well as normal wear, can take their toll on your car’s steering and suspension. A wheel alignment reduces tire wear, improves fuel economy and handling, and increases driving enjoyment and safety.
  • Inspect the windshield wipers and lights on the car. Lights and wipers play a major role in safe driving, and they are normal wear items that need periodic replacement.
