Understanding the Value and Quality of USEP Remanufactured Engines
A USEP remanufactured engine isn’t just repaired or rebuilt – it’s meticulously remanufactured by US Engine Production. Our comprehensive process restores Cummins engines to peak performance and reliability, adhering to strict USEP standards and often incorporating the latest design upgrades. Here’s a look at the rigorous steps involved in the USEP process:
The engine core is completely disassembled down to the last individual component. No part is left uninspected by USEP technicians.
All components undergo intensive cleaning using advanced, environmentally friendly methods utilized by USEP (like thermal cleaning, shot blasting, enzyme baths) to remove all contaminants.
Cleaned parts are meticulously inspected by USEP experts using state-of-the-art techniques to determine if they meet strict USEP reuse standards. Tolerances are checked against original manufacturing specifications.
Components that meet USEP criteria are salvaged using advanced techniques. Parts that cannot be brought back to specification are replaced. All critical wear parts (like rings, bearings, seals, gaskets, pistons, liners) are always replaced with high-quality USEP Best aftermarket parts or new OEM parts.
Engines are carefully reassembled by trained USEP technicians in a controlled environment, following documented USEP assembly processes to ensure consistency and quality.
Every USEP remanufactured engine undergoes computerized dynamometer testing under various load conditions. This critical step verifies performance (horsepower, torque), checks for leaks, and ensures the engine operates reliably, meeting or exceeding USEP's demanding standards.
Opting for a remanufactured Cummins engine from US Engine Production offers significant advantages:
Get the performance and reliability of a new engine at a significantly lower price point, providing excellent value for your investment.
Remanufactured by USEP to meet or exceed strict USEP standards using high-quality parts and rigorous testing, ensuring durability and dependable operation.
remanufacture engines often include critical engineering updates and design improvements made since the original engine was manufactured.

Remanufacturing is a sustainable choice. It conserves significant amounts of energy, raw materials, and reduces waste compared to producing a new engine.
remanufacture engines are often readily available, allowing for quicker replacement and minimizing costly equipment downtime compared to lengthy overhauls.
It’s important to understand the difference when considering a replacement Cummins engine:
| Process | |
| USEP Remanufactured | Complete disassembly, cleaning, inspection per USEP standards, replacement/machining to USEP specs using quality parts, USEP assembly process, full dyno testing. |
| Rebuilt | Disassembled only to the point of failure. Only failed parts replaced. Limited testing. |
| Used | Taken directly from another application. Condition often unknown. |
| Parts Quality | |
| USEP Remanufactured | Wear parts replaced with high-quality USEP Best aftermarket or new OEM parts. Others meet strict USEP reuse specs. |
| Rebuilt | May use new, used, or aftermarket parts of varying quality. |
| Used | Original used parts. Wear level unknown. |
| Performance | |
| USEP Remanufactured | Meets or exceeds USEP performance standards. May include relevant updates. |
| Rebuilt | Variable. May not meet original specs. No updates included. |
| Used | Unknown. Likely lower than original specs due to wear. |
| Warranty | |
| USEP Remanufactured | Comprehensive USEP ONE-YEAR, UNLIMITED MILES warranty. |
| Rebuilt | Limited warranty, often only on replaced parts or for a short duration. |
| Used | Typically sold "as-is" with no warranty. |
| Value | |
| USEP Remanufactured | Excellent value from USEP - like-new performance and reliability backed by the USEP warranty, at a lower cost than new. |
| Rebuilt | MLower initial cost than reman, but potentially higher long-term costs due to lower reliability/shorter life. |
| Used | Lowest initial cost, but highest risk and potential for immediate failure or costly repairs. |
