Rebuilt Engine Manufacturer Recommendations?

[Danielle]

Looking for 2 (05 camry and 03 montero sport) engines for customers. Does anyone have engine companies they recommend... Or anyone I should avoid?

When I had my shop I had both good and bad luck with Jasper. 4 engines were fine and 3 were garbage out of the crate. They had a good return policy just super slow process which makes for angry customer ugh.

I got a dodge v6 from advance auto and its still running. I think Spartan was the manufacture of the engine.

I would steer clear from Jasper reman engines.
I have heard "ok" things with promar engines.

I wouldn't recommend ATK Engines. My local place sells them. We got an engine with a bad block. They did warranty it, but since we put it in VS a shop we didn't get the "good" warranty as we were sold. And a shop had to do the warranty replacement or we'd of gotten no warranty. They had the shop run a bunch of tests.

Good luck. I'm becoming a fan of low mile junkyard engines, or get them rebuilt locally.

I'm happy with my promar rebuild so far. They are close to you and have a decent warranty.

Does Promar do all engines, or just diesel engines????

Note, she is looking for 2 different car/gas engines.........

They do lots of stuff.

Best to call ahead to Jaspers. See if they do what you want and -lease ask about warranty too if you install it..

I think all remanufactures are suspect. I have seen problems from many of them.

When you have the type of work force big rebuilders employ ,any of them are a crap shoot. My jasper experience has been 50/50.
Main thing is follow accessory instructions to the letter, rad and such. And buy the best warranty available and keep a copy of the paperwork as well as the customers.

Check out this or just call them. I personally would recommend them.

I wont touch a anything jasper puts out... buddy grenaded a powerstroke 7.3 built transmission after 5k miles. they werent going to warranty it but finally did, he sold the truck because the warranty trans kept having issues after only 2000 miles on it. engines are a big crap shoot with them as well and have seen a couple bad out of the box, a couple run just long enough for warranty to expire, and one is still running. so i wouldnt even consider them.

promar does great work in my opinion and havent really heard bad things about them.

my dad used a no namer that was decently priced for a reason. he blew up the first engine in 1000 miles warrantied it and the second one let the head gasket go after 50k. so after that experience i always look for OEM junkyard engines or pay good money for rebuilds. learned the lesson of pay once and cry once.

Has anyone used this to check for cracks in an aluminum head?

They always ended up replacing the bad engines but it took a lot of work on our end and weeks of time. Which tied up bays or took time reassembling enough of chassis to push car out of bay (which is time in itself!!) While we waited.

I did end up swerving to used engines and doing all gaskets, etc, before installing used engine.

Now that it is me and one part timer I do not want these big jobs haha. But of course I get 2 at once!

The toyota in particular has issues with head bolts stripping out so in labor times it is pretty hefty to repair holes and replace head. I didnt want to do this huge expensive patch job and then in a year or so they may need an engine anyway (teen driver... So zero maintenance and beats the **** out of it)
