ENGINE DETAILS :
1. The Remanufactured Engine Itself
Jasper engines are completely disassembled and rebuilt, not just patched up. During the process they typically:
- Fully disassemble the engine
- Clean and inspect the block, crankshaft, rods, heads, etc.
- Replace worn parts with new or requalified components
- Machine components to OEM tolerances or better
- Install new wear parts (bearings, rings, seals, gaskets, etc.)
- Run-test the engine to verify performance before shipping
So it’s basically rebuilt to near-new condition.
2. Warranty (one of the biggest benefits)
Most Jasper automotive engines include:
- 3-year / 100,000-mile warranty
- Parts AND labor covered
- Nationwide coverage (thousands of service locations)
- Transferable warranty if you sell the vehicle
Commercial vehicles (taxis, plows, etc.) sometimes get 18 months / 100,000 miles instead.
3. What usually comes with the engine
Depending on the specific model and installer package, you typically receive:
- Long block engine assembly (block, pistons, crank, cam, heads)
- New internal wear components
- Engine tested and calibrated
- Some gasket sets (often with 1-year parts warranty)
Usually external accessories like alternator, starter, AC compressor, intake, etc. are not included and are transferred from your old engine.
4. Optional extras you can add
Jasper also offers a Premium Service Plan that can include:
- Extra labor coverage
- Towing reimbursement
- Fluid allowance
- Rental car allowance if the engine fails
5. What you typically pay separately
Normally not included in the engine price:
- Installation labor
- Fluids
- New sensors or accessories
- Shipping/core charge (refunded when you return your old engine)
✅ Simple summary:
When you buy a Jasper rebuilt motor, you get a fully remanufactured tested engine plus up to a 3-year/100k-mile nationwide parts-and-labor warranty, but installation and accessories are usually extra.
