Engine Replacement Perth
When It's Time to Start Fresh
Sometimes, repairing or rebuilding just isn’t the right option. Whether your engine has suffered internal damage, seized, or simply hit the end of its usable life, a complete replacement is often the most efficient and cost-effective path forward.
At Oceans Automotive, we source, supply, and install high-quality new, reconditioned, or like-for-like second-hand engines. Every install is done in-house, with full inspection, component checks, and final testing — so you know your new engine is installed properly and built to last.
The Process
Our engine replacement process is straightforward, thorough, and transparent — designed to minimise downtime and maximise long-term performance.
Initial Inspection & Damage Assessment
We begin by running diagnostics and inspecting your engine to determine the extent of the failure. This helps confirm that a full replacement is the best course of action. We also check for related issues such as radiator leaks, mount fatigue, or transmission wear.
Engine Sourcing (New, Reco, or Used)
Depending on your vehicle, goals, and budget, we’ll source a suitable engine — whether that’s brand new, professionally reconditioned, or a quality used unit with verified history. We only recommend engines we trust and suppliers we’ve worked with before.
Engine Removal & Engine Bay Prep
We remove the old engine carefully, draining fluids and disconnecting all components. While the bay is empty, we inspect and clean surrounding systems — including mounts, hoses, wiring, and the cooling system — to ensure everything’s ready for the new install.
Fitment & Compatibility Checks
The new engine is fitted and aligned correctly with all mounts and connections. We check all accessories, sensors, and electronics for compatibility, ensuring everything integrates seamlessly with your vehicle’s existing systems.
Fluids, Filters & Component Install
We install fresh oil, coolant, filters, belts and other consumables to suit the new engine. This step ensures everything is primed for smooth, trouble-free operation and protects your warranty or reconditioning guarantee.
Startup, Testing & Final Inspection
Once installed, we carry out a full start-up and engine run-in, monitoring for leaks, noise, temperature, and idle quality. We road-test the vehicle and re-check all systems before final handover, ensuring everything is dialled in and ready to go.
