Prepping your Engine Short Block for Shipping 

We ONLY require the Short Block for engine rebuilds. We recommend that all engines be placed on a pallet that has been modified to protect the engine block. From our experience this procedure/setup works well;

1. Ensure that the engine is completely drained of fluids (coolant & oil) prior to shipping.
2. Using 2" x 4" wood, create a 'cradle' approximately 12" x 14" inside dimensions (see pictures #1 & #2 below). This will allow the Oil Pan lip to rest on the supports, protecting it from being crushed during transit.
3. Place a large (39 Gal.) heavy-duty garbage bag inside the cradle (Pictures #3, #4 & #5). This will capture any remaining fluids during shipping and help protect the engine block.
4. Use duct tape or masking tape to seal all engine openings to prevent any foreign items from falling into the engine (pictures #6 & #7, #8).
5. Use the garbage bag to cover entire engine (pictures #9 & #10).
6. If possible, shrink-wrap engine for further protection (pictures # 11 & #12).
7. Use tie straps to secure the engine to the pallet (pictures #13 & #14).
8. Attach address labels securely to the engine and pallet to ensure that they do not become detached.
9. Ensure that you have two copies of the Bill of Lading (BOL) ready for the driver.
