The Grade A selection

Grade A: the only engines we offer

We offer only engines selected as Grade A, sold wholesale by the full container. Every engine in your order is cleaned, looked over, has its crankshaft turned by hand and is photographed from every side — and you receive those photographs before the balance is paid.

Wholesale onlyRegular orders are one full container — 90 engines in a 20-ft or 130 in a 40-ft, or with gearboxes 45 + 45 / 65 + 65. New customers can make their first purchase from 10 engines (10, 20, 30 or 40), with gearboxes and consolidated shipping, at list price, with no first-order surcharge (LCL freight quoted separately): first-order offer. A second order can start from 45 engines, also at list price. We do not sell single units.

One selection, no lower tier

ENGICOR offers only engines selected as Grade A. We do not sell Grade B, C or Core, and there is no second price list: every published per-unit price on this site is for a Grade A engine, valid inside a full container.

The selection is possible because of scale. We have access to a large-scale warehouse in Guangzhou, with an inventory of 2,000+ engines, and that inventory is what orders are prepared from. Availability changes with every shipment in and out, so the availability of each engine model is confirmed in your quotation rather than promised in advance.

The engines are used. They are not new, rebuilt, remanufactured or reconditioned, and we do not describe them as certified. What Grade A means here is the selection we offer, plus the preparation and photo record described below.

The same standard is published as a dated, versioned document you can file with your purchase records or send to your own inspector: ENGICOR Grade A Standard v1.6 (PDF, 23 October 2026). Every change to what we check or promise will appear as a new version with its change log; the terms of an order are those of the version in force on the date of its Proforma Invoice.

What every engine gets

Each engine is cleaned, handled and looked over, and its crankshaft is turned by hand with a tool to confirm that the mechanism rotates. It is then photographed from every side. The engines are delivered clean and carefully presented.

The photographs are organised into one simple file per order: Engine 1, Engine 2, Engine 3 and so on, each reference linked to its own photos. Where the engine code or identification plate is visible, it shows in the photographs.

  • Each engine is cleaned

  • Each engine is handled and looked over
  • One by one, not by the lot
3

Crankshaft turned by hand

  • Turned by hand with a tool
  • Confirms that the mechanism rotates
4

Photographed from every side

  • Individual photographs of each engine
  • Filed as Engine 1, Engine 2, Engine 3…

What the check covers — and what it does not

What the check covers: a manual crankshaft rotation check and an individual photo record. It is not a compression, leak-down, bench or running test, so on its own it does not prove how an engine will run once installed.

Covered

  • Cleaning and careful presentation
  • Crankshaft turned by hand with a tool
  • Photographs of each engine from every side
  • One photo file per order

Not covered

  • Compression or leak-down test
  • Bench or running test
  • Proof of how the engine will run once installed

Gearboxes are not part of this check or of Grade A: used gearboxes are sold untested and as-is (in their current condition).

Your order's photo file. One simple file per order, with each reference linked to that engine's photographs. The packing list follows the same references and the engine models.

When the check happens in your order

The check and the photographs are part of order preparation, which the 30% deposit initiates (the deposit also arranges the shipping booking). On a remote order your selected units are documented on supervised video and individual photographs, and you receive the photo file organised as Engine 1, Engine 2, Engine 3 and so on before you pay the balance. The remaining 70% of the agreed order total is settled before shipment. If you visit instead, on a Guangzhou Inspection Day, a visit deposit (USD 500 for a visit tied to a first order of 10–40 engines; USD 1,000 for container orders) — credited in full toward the 30% — starts the preparation of your complete lot, and you inspect and approve it in person in one day.

The whole sequence, with the container configurations and the export documents, is on how to order a container; how each payment is handled is on payment protection.

Gearboxes are sold on different terms

Used gearboxes are sold untested and as-is (in their current condition). They are not part of the Grade A selection and do not receive the engine check above; they are not new or reconditioned.

In regular orders, gearboxes are available inside the mixed container configurations: 45 engines plus 45 gearboxes in a 20-ft container, or 65 engines plus 65 gearboxes in a 40-ft. A new customer’s first order can also include gearboxes, in a separately listed quantity — see the first-order offer. Prices and the two-wheel-drive notes are on transmissions.

Grade A, by the container

Grade A engines are sold by the full container: 90 engines in a 20-ft or 130 in a 40-ft, with the mix chosen by you across the seventeen published models. First-time buyers can start with a first order of 10 to 40 engines from the seventeen published models, shipped LCL (in a shared container), at list price, with no first-order surcharge; LCL sea freight from Guangzhou is quoted separately. Your second order can start from 45 engines, also at list price, shipped LCL or in a shared 20-ft container. From then on, full containers at list price. We do not sell single units.

Models outside the seventeen — including the other makes we can look for — are a commercial enquiry to sales, not stock we hold on the shelf. Whatever the mix, every engine in it is from the Grade A selection and goes through the same preparation and photo record.

Price a container yourself

Build the mix you want in the online quoter — 90 engines in a 20-ft or 130 in a 40-ft, or 45 + 45 / 65 + 65 with gearboxes — and the FOB total reaches your inbox the same minute, at our published per-unit prices, every engine Grade A. Prefer to ask? Tell us the destination country and the models you need and we reply within one business day, usually within hours.

New customer? Your first order can start with 10, 20, 30 or 40 engines, with gearboxes and consolidated shipping available — first purchase only, at list price, with no first-order surcharge. See the first-order offer →

Frequently asked

What is a Grade A used engine at ENGICOR?

It is an engine from the Grade A selection, which is the only grade we offer. Each engine is cleaned, handled and looked over, and its crankshaft is turned by hand with a tool to confirm that the mechanism rotates. It is then photographed from every side. The engines are used — not new, rebuilt, remanufactured or reconditioned.

What does the ENGICOR check cover?

What the check covers: a manual crankshaft rotation check and an individual photo record. It is not a compression, leak-down, bench or running test, so on its own it does not prove how an engine will run once installed.

What photographs do I receive?

One photo file per order, organised as Engine 1, Engine 2, Engine 3 and so on, with each reference linked to that engine's photographs from every side. It is prepared during order preparation, which the 30% deposit initiates, and you receive it before you pay the 70% balance, which is settled before shipment.

Do you sell Grade B, C or Core engines?

No. We offer only engines selected as Grade A, sold by the full container. There is no lower tier and no second price list.

Are gearboxes Grade A too?

No. Used gearboxes are sold untested and as-is (in their current condition), and they are not part of the Grade A engine check. They are available in the mixed configurations — 45 engines plus 45 gearboxes in a 20-ft container, or 65 plus 65 in a 40-ft — and as part of a new customer’s first order, where the Grade A check still applies to the engines only.

How many engines are in stock?

We have access to a large-scale warehouse in Guangzhou, with an inventory of 2,000+ engines, from which orders are prepared for international markets. Stock moves constantly, so the availability of each engine model is confirmed in your quotation.

Where do the engines come from?

From vehicles that were driven in China. They are original Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia and Isuzu engines, not Japanese-domestic (JDM) imports.

What is fitted to each engine? Are the ECU and wiring harness included?

Engines are supplied as removed from the vehicle. What is fitted varies by unit and is visible in the photos of each engine. ECUs and used wiring harnesses are not supplied; new harnesses and other new parts can be sourced on request and are quoted separately.

Do you offer a warranty?

No. The engines are used and are sold without a warranty period. What you get instead is the Grade A selection, the manual crankshaft check and photos of every engine in your order before you pay the balance.

What if the photos of an engine show a problem?

If the photos of a unit show a problem, tell us before the balance is paid and we replace it with another unit of the same model, with new photos.
