Dont use them! Whatever you do DO NOT use these guys. I bought a 2332cc horror of an engine from them. They ground down the case to unsafe tolerances and ground down the connector rods to clearance the case. There was play in the connector rods at the crank and there was pitting/gouging all over all the bearings in the engine.

If you buy from them you are getting ripped off just like me! |

| Good to know. I'm going to try the Mofoco guys. They are within driving distance from me. A little but under 2 hours from where I live in Chicago. I dropped the engine this weekend and now stripping it down to the long block. |

Drop me an e-mail when you're heading up and I'll make sure I'm available to work with you on whatever you need.

| So quick update on these importmotor tools. I called in a few days ago to basically tell them WTF and Wayne told me it wasnt their problem. Even though I didnt even put gas in it or run it since they sent it to me it wasnt their problem. If you have one of their engines thats got any kind of boring or clearancing done I suggest you check the engine. They probably f***ed it up. |
