hey guys,

I am genuinely terrible at navigating forums or computers as a whole so please forgive if this is in the wrong place. anyhow, I am trying to source a cummins 4bt! I have found some used ones here https://www.4btengines.com/used-engines/ but I see the offer remanufactured engines also? I have not come across these before. Does anyone have any advice on which would be better value for money?

Thanks people

Welcome to the site. Depending on the reputation of the group/company rebuilding the engines it can be a great deal or not. Remanufactured engines will be less than new and a used will be less than remanufactured. IIRC, remanufactured uses factory parts and rebuilt uses aftermarket parts. I could be wrong on that though.

I would look at the warranties of each to help decide the better deal for your needs.

Welcome from Georgia!

Don't know about diesels but usually (IMO), remans are better than rebuilt.
