What causes an engine not to start?
When your engine cranks but won’t start or run, it could mean your engine is having trouble producing a spark, getting fuel, or creating compression. The most common causes are problems in the ignition (for example, a bad ignition coil) or fuel system (for example, a clogged fuel filter).
How do you start a fresh motor?
As soon as your water temperature just starts to rise, bring rpm up to 1800 rpm, and check ignition timing to make sure you are approx. 22-25 degrees timing for engine break-in. Run the engine at 1800 rpm for at least half an hour, making sure someone is monitoring oil pressure and water temperature at all times!

Are there any problems with a rebuilt engine?
Rebuilt engines don’t just plug in and work reliably once purchased. Many parts and systems from the existing car need to be integrated with the rebuilt engine, and the process can introduce unexpected problems. Rebuilt engines depend significantly on the labor process.
Can a car engine be rebuilt with a hole in it?
If there’s a hole in the side of the engine, it can’t be rebuilt. You’ll need engine block replacement, and that’s pretty much the whole thing. If the whole cost of the engine rebuild is the same as a replacement – or more – it’s a good reason to change the engine itself.
