Chevrolet / Chevy Camaro Engines Catalog

You'd like to keep your Camaro. And it's in great shape. Except for the engine: it's got too many miles on it.

Solution? Buy a new or refurbished "crate" engine from one of our great dealers.

Crate engines are ready to run right out of the crate. You can start shopping now, for the engine you would like.

Here's what happens when a rebuilder refurbishes an engine. He or she removes all plugs, then cleans all the components. Next s/he inspects the oil galleys to make sure oil will flow to all parts after the engine is rebuilt. S/he then inspects the block for cracks. After this, the technician re-bores the cylinders up to the next size and installs new sprockets and bearings, new rings and pistons, re-grinds the camshaft, replaces all seals and plugs, and installs a new timing belt or chain. The technician also installs new push rods, rocker arms, and lifters, plus a re-built or new oil pump.

Next the technician moves on to the cylinder head. Here work includes resurfacing the valves and installing new valve guides. S/he vacuum tests and pressure tests the head, then cleans the engine again before reassembly. S/he then re-adjusts the valves, and checks the compression and oil pressure. A final inspection includes listening for unusual noises and checking for oil leaks.

Now you have an engine that will give you many years and many miles of service.

A new OEM crate engine could actually be better than your original power plant. How? If the manufacturer uses better-quality materials, than you receive a better engine. It's that simple.

So start shopping now for your new or refurbished Chevy Camaro engine. The sooner you install your engine, the sooner you will be cruising - as if you just drove your Camaro off the showroom floor. Remember that feeling?
