Frequently Asked Questions
Finding the right replacement part for your car engine is crucial to ensure performance, safety and compatibility. There are a few key ways to confirm a part will fit your make and model.
First, always refer to your vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). This unique identifier tells you the year, make, model, engine type and more. Most engine part retailers, including EngineBits, allow you to search by VIN or filter parts by year, make and model – ensuring accurate results.
Secondly, check the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) number. If you’re replacing a part, compare the old part’s OEM number with what you’re buying. An OEM match is a strong sign of compatibility.
Lastly, look at product specifications and consult your mechanic if needed. At EngineBits, we include detailed specs, fitment info, and customer service support to help you avoid costly errors.

The most common engine parts that typically require replacement in cars over time include spark plugs, filters, gaskets, timing belts, and water pumps. These components are subject to wear and tear due to high temperatures, pressure, and usage cycles.
Spark plugs, for example, are essential for igniting the air-fuel mixture, and worn plugs can lead to misfires, lower fuel efficiency, and sluggish performance. Engine air filters and oil filters also need regular replacement to keep contaminants out and maintain engine health.
Gaskets, particularly head gaskets, are critical for sealing combustion chambers and preventing fluid leaks. When they wear out or fail, it can lead to overheating and significant engine damage. Timing belts (or chains) synchronise the camshaft and crankshaft — if they snap, the engine may suffer catastrophic damage. Water pumps are crucial for circulating coolant, and a faulty one can cause overheating or complete engine failure.
Regular inspection and preventive maintenance are key to keeping these parts in working condition. At EngineBits, we stock OEM-quality and performance aftermarket automotive engine parts to match or exceed original specs. Whether you’re a DIY car enthusiast or a mechanic, you can trust us for reliability and value.
