It’s been an engine-heavy week here at T Autocare Takedown.

In today’s video, we give you a quick behind-the-scenes look at three different engine replacements we tackled in our Broken Arrow shop. You’ll see the lineup of pulled motors, the tear-down area, and the workspace in full swing.
When it comes to serious auto repair, engine replacements are some of the most labor-intensive jobs we handle—and we’re proud to say we do them regularly.
👉 Watch: a quick walk-through of three major engine replacements in progress at our Broken Arrow shop. From teardown to install, these jobs highlight the kind of complex repairs our mechanics tackle every week.
Why Do So Many Vehicles Need Engine Replacement?
There are a few reasons why a vehicle might need a full engine swap:
- Severe internal damage (rod knock, oil starvation, cracked blocks)
- Overheating issues that warp cylinder heads or damage head gaskets
- High mileage engines that just don’t have the compression or reliability anymore
- Neglected maintenance leading to timing failure, coolant leaks, or catastrophic oil leaks
Rather than rebuilding a compromised motor, many customers opt for a crate engine install to get their vehicle back on the road reliably.
What Goes Into a Proper Engine Replacement?
When you bring your vehicle to us for a full engine repair, it’s not just about removing and replacing the engine block. We also inspect and upgrade critical systems that support the engine:
- Motor Mounts: If they’re torn or collapsed, now’s the time to replace them.
- Water Pump & Thermostat: Cooling system health is key to protecting the new engine.
- Timing Chains & Belts: We make sure timing is dialed in perfectly.
- Gaskets & Seals: Fresh gaskets prevent new leaks from popping up.
- Sensor Replacement: Faulty or failing sensors can throw off engine performance.
When everything is bolted in and calibrated, we run thorough diagnostics to make sure the new engine runs strong and smooth.
