standard and OEM specification using the best possible cores available.
Jasper Engines and Transmissions is a good example of a premier
remanufacturing company. All internal engine and transmission tolerances
are restored to OEM specifications. New parts are used for bearings, valve
springs, crankshafts, and camshafts, and virtually everything inside is
replaced with the only used part being the engine block or transmission case.
In selecting a salvage yard from which to buy a used auto part, learn to
spot a chop shop from an organized yard. Chop shops tend to leave their yard
unorganized; engines, transmissions, and other major components might be
left out in the weather to rust. Sensitive electrical components are also left in
the cars that are outside and exposed to weather. This is not good for these
components and can result in a prematurely failed part. Perfectly good body
sheet metal is eft to rust and corrode rather than being removed and placed in
a protected environment. Good salvage yards have computer cross-reference
programs to show part fitment. They also usually belong to a hotline of
salvage yards across a region or the whole country that allows them to access
each other’s inventories. In short, in selecting a salvage yard, look for
organization, cleanliness, and safe inventory of parts.
