Every component meets or exceeds OEM specifications.

Question 3

What are the most common problems with the General Motors LFW 3L engine?

Accepted Answer

The most common General Motors LFW 3L engine problems are timing chain/belt wear, oil consumption issues, coolant leaks from gaskets, spark plug and ignition problems. These are well-documented failure points that affect many General Motors LFW engines in service. Our remanufacturing process specifically addresses each of these known issues by using updated components, improved gaskets, and enhanced machining techniques. When you purchase a remanufactured General Motors LFW long block from US Engine Production, these common problems have been corrected during the rebuild process, giving you a more reliable engine than a simple repair would provide.

Question 4

What warranty comes with a remanufactured General Motors LFW engine?

Accepted Answer

Every remanufactured General Motors LFW engine from US Engine Production comes with a comprehensive parts-and-labor warranty backed by over 40 years of remanufacturing experience. Our warranty reflects our confidence in the quality of our process — every General Motors LFW 3L engine is dyno tested before shipping to verify horsepower, torque, oil pressure, and overall performance. Warranty terms may vary based on the specific application and whether the engine is for a passenger vehicle, truck, or commercial application. Contact us at (631) 991-7700 for specific warranty details for your 2012 Cadillac CTS.

Question 5

How long does a remanufactured General Motors LFW engine last?

Accepted Answer

A remanufactured General Motors LFW engine typically lasts 150,000 to 300,000+ miles with proper maintenance — comparable to a brand new engine. The longevity of your remanufactured General Motors LFW 3L depends on regular oil changes, proper cooling system maintenance, using the correct fuel and fluids, and following the manufacturer's recommended service intervals. Our remanufactured long blocks are built to OEM specifications using all-new internal components, which is why they deliver the same service life as a factory-new engine.

Question 6

Is a remanufactured General Motors LFW better than a used or rebuilt engine?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a remanufactured General Motors LFW is significantly better than a used or rebuilt engine because every component is replaced or restored to OEM specifications. A used engine has unknown history and remaining life. A rebuilt engine only replaces worn-out parts. Our remanufactured General Motors LFW 3L engines are completely disassembled down to the bare block, every component is cleaned and inspected, and all wear items are replaced with new parts — including pistons, bearings, gaskets, seals, timing components, and the oil pump. The engine block and crankshaft are precision machined to factory tolerances, delivering better reliability, longer life, and a stronger warranty than used or rebuilt alternatives.

Question 7

Will a remanufactured General Motors LFW fit my 2012 Cadillac CTS?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our remanufactured General Motors LFW long block engines are built to be a direct, bolt-in replacement for the original engine in your 2012 Cadillac CTS. We match the engine to your specific year, make, model, and configuration to ensure proper compatibility with your vehicle's computer, wiring harness, emissions equipment, and mounting points. When you call us at (631) 991-7700, our specialists will verify the exact engine configuration for your 2012 Cadillac CTS using your VIN to ensure a perfect match.

Question 8

Do I need to return my old General Motors LFW engine core?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a core return is required when purchasing a remanufactured General Motors LFW long block engine. A refundable core deposit is collected at the time of purchase and is returned to you once we receive your old General Motors LFW 3L engine in rebuildable condition. We make the core return process easy and hassle-free. The core return program helps us keep remanufactured engine prices affordable by recycling engine blocks and other reusable components. Your old engine core should be complete and not have any cracked or damaged major castings.

Question 9

How fast can I get a remanufactured General Motors LFW engine shipped?

Accepted Answer

Most remanufactured General Motors LFW engines ship within 1-3 business days with delivery in 3-7 business days to all 50 states. Expedited shipping options are available for an additional charge. Your remanufactured General Motors LFW 3L engine is carefully crated and secured on a pallet for safe transport.

How is a remanufactured General Motors LFW engine tested before shipping?
