I just had a reconditioned Jasper engine installed in my 98 Dodge Caravan. The garage called last night at just a few minutes before they closed and said it was ready. I heard a clunk after I started it up and put it in drive, but didn't hear it after that one time. This was the first time I'd driven my car in 3 weeks but the engine seemed to run a little louder than before. I only drove it half a mile to my house last night, but am going to take it out for a drive after I post this. Maybe it's just that it's been so long since I've driven my own car and am looking for things, but I've never had an engine replaced before. What things should I expect? I mean, what is normal and what is not? Should it run just the same as it did before? There wasn't anything wrong with the original engine, except that it had 176,000 miles on it. The car needed to have an oil leak problem fixed that was going to cost $1,500 and a new water pump that was going to cost approx. $700, so my husband decided it would be a good idea to just replace the engine.
 
it's brain box has learn the new engine and learn the way drive again about 100 miles should do it break in is 500 miles so don't go over 55 mph - and change the oil by 800 miles because machining work
