where to get remanufactured engines

WELL I REALLY CAN'T SAY WHERE A GOOD PLACE TO GET A REMANUFACTURED ENGINE IS BUT I CAN SURE TELL YOU WHERE NOT TO GO.
1. DON'T GET AN ENGINE REBUILT BY GT MOTORSPORTS THEY DON'T HONOR WARRANTY'S AND HAV'NT A CLUE AS TO WHAT THEY ARE DOING. COST ABOUT $2000.00 DOLLARS WASTED.

2. DON'T PURCHASE A REMANUFACTURED ENGINE FROM ATK ENGINES THEY DONT HONOR THEIR WARRANTY. THEIR 3 YEAR UNLIMITED MILAGE WARRANTY SOUNDS GOOD BUT ITS ALL A SIMPLE BUNCH OF CONSUMER JARGON. WHEN THEY CLAIM CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THEIR NO.1 PRIORITY THEY ARE SIMPLY SAYING IT TO HEAR THEMSELVES TALK. BECAUSE THE TRUE FACT OF THE MATTER IS IF SOMETHING TRULY GOES WRONG THEY WILL JUST BLAME IT ON SOMEONE ELSE LIKE THEIR SHIPPING COMPANY. COST APROX $2500.00 DOLLARS WASTED!

SO TO EVERYONE LOOKING TO PURCHASE A REMANUFACTURED ENGINE HERE ARE TWO COMPANYS TO STEER CLEAR OF. AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE FULLY AWARE OF THEIR PAST CUSTOMER SATISFACTION RATINGS AND WEATHER OR NOT THEY TRULY WILL HONOR THEIR WARRANTY OR IF IT IS SIMPLY JUST A BUNCH OF WORDS ON A PAPER. IN MY DEALINGS THESE TWO COMPANYS ARE TWO TO BEWARE OF..

those words on paper are usually what us Americans would refer to as a contract, and under law you have to uphold what you said you would do IF ITS ON PAPER. If when you bought the remanufactured engine you signed ANYTHING whether it was the credit card bill or it was an actual contract, if he handed you the warranty paper the company must honor it, and if they say no, I would sue them and get my cash money back because 2k is a lot of money just to throw away. just go get a lawyer to write some legal jargon on a paper and go and give it 2 the company and usually that will scare them and they will be more helpful but if not just sue them

yeah i sued the first company and the *** judge said i was'nt intitled to squat he never even talked to the mechanic/shop i paid to look and see what the problem was. they said the crank was installed wrong. but alot of good that was.

the second company ATK engines gave me this malarkie about how the engine was'nt damaged in the remanufacturing but was in the shiping now the funny thing is that they provided the shipping not to mention their warranty states that it does not go active until the date of installation. but they still aint doin *** about taking care of the problem. go figure huh...

We've been subscribing to an on-line shop for our car parts needs, even for our Replacement Engine, and so far the papers that we both agreed into are honored every time we had a problem. Good thing.

Well, matters like that should also be monitored by any company. Transactions are not  finish until any binding contract expires.It doesn't end at exchange of the product and payment per se..  

I have to agree with you on the ATK engines

I am a shop owner and we purchased and engine from them, came with no intake gaskets, no oil pump, no freeze plug. It was junk, immediately after install was burning qt in 10 min. clattering, no compression in cylinder 8. Had to buy one for my customer for JASPER ENGINES- (THEY ARE BY FAR THE BEST). As of today's date we still have not been refunded from ATK for the motor or core. THEY ARE THE WORST. I DONT RECOMMEND ANYBODY BUY A MOTOR FROM THEM.  

Our 87 full size Bronco is running great with the reasonably-priced Viagra Online remanufactured engine we purchased from your company. We were glad to hear of your company from a friend after getting a ridiculous quote from a national chain for replacing the engine in our aging Bronco. It was so easy to find what we needed and to place the order on your website. Before I placed the order, I called with a few questions that were answered right away. Our mechanic had no trouble picking up the engine, installing it, or returning the core. He commented on how smoothly everything went. Thank you for providing a quality product at a fair price with a great warranty!  

I had a bad experience with a highly-regarded engine rebuilder here locally in Whittier, CA.

The shop in question is known for rebuilding antique engines as well as full-race builds. Both of these areas of interest require high precision. I figured they'd be more than qualified to do a basic rebuild on a Toyota 22R.

Weeks went by. After a while I checked in. The engine was done, but the owner hadn't added up the bill. More time went by. I finally showed up at the counter with some reading material. I stood there and declared that I needed to have my bill added up. The owner saw my reading material. "I'm prepared to camp out!" I told him. The bill got added up.

Once home and assembled, the problems continued. The first start-up produced a gnarly oil leak at the rear main seal. It wasn't leaking when I took it in. It turned out that the rear main seal journal on the crank had been turned down too far and was now under-sized. It needed a repair sleeve.

But wait...there's more! In addition to the gushing rear main seal, the engine just plain didn't run well. It turned out that one of the rings had gotten out of its groove and had folded itself between the piston and the cylinder wall. At first, I blamed myself because I installed the pistons. Granted, I was careful and used a piston ring compressor and gently tapped the pistons into place. Stuff happens. A friend measured the pistons and measured the newly-enlarged bores. The piston-to-bore clearance was excessive. It's possible that the piston ring came out of the groove and wedged itself between the piston and the bore even after having properly been installed.

I'll never know. At that point, I decided enough was enough. Doing another rebuild would've been throwing good money after bad.

Judging by everyone's horror stories and my own experience, I'll say that when you find a good engine rebuilder, do everything you can to support that builder! Recommend that shop to your friends. Demand a fair price, but don't play nickel-and-dime games. You want the rebuilder to be able to make enough money to be there year after year and engine after engine.
