Chevy Impala Engine Blocks

An engine block is one of the core components of your Chevy Impala’s engine assembly. It is a big, particularly complicated part that cannot be assembled from separate bits because it needs to withstand severe conditions of engine operation. Huge pressure, temperature extremes, the action of chemically aggressive compounds, mechanical wear – only a truly solid chunk of metal is able to resist that for a long period of time. And since an engine block is quite simply enormously strong, it’s not that easy to get it damaged. However, if you manage to do that, the engine assembly can no longer be considered serviceable or safe, which is why the restoring measures have to be taken as soon as possible.

Quite often, an engine block can be compromised as a result of water getting into the cylinders. If it happens when the engine is running, then this incompressible liquid will cause a drastic increase in the pressure ratio that will destroy either a cylinder head or a block. If water gets inside of a non-operating assembly (during a flood, for example), it will cause severe corrosion and deterioration of metal surfaces. In both cases, the replacement is necessary, and you can find a wide range of top-quality Chevy Impala engine blocks & components on our digital shelves.
