    I purchased my remanufactured engine from Mark at California Engines, aka US Precision Machine, on…read moreeBay. Mark's seller ID, xtrememachine, has a 100% positive feedback rating, and there's a reason for that, which I'll get to. Wanting to do my homework, I contacted Mark and he gave me his phone number. I called him and spoke to him for the better part of 15 minutes. Satisfied that he knew what he was talking about, I pulled the trigger and purchased the engine. This was April 11, 2017. The engine did not arrive until June of 2017, two months after I purchased it. I say this because you can NOT leave any kind of feedback whatsoever on eBay after two months, hence the 100%positive feedback rating. When I received the engine, I happened to look in the exhaust ports and saw that the valves still had carbon deposits on them, the camshaft had no lubrication on it and the timing chain was not a double roller as pictured in his ad. When I called Mark, he told me that the guy who rebuilt the heads no longer works there and was doing a terrible job. He told me to call him back the next day, so that he could give me the information I needed to send him the engine to have it redone. Having already waited two months for this engine, I decided to take it to my local engine rebuilder. We went from "This engine would have lasted 3000 miles" to "This engine wouldn't have lasted ten seconds on startup". As my engine rebuilder dug into the engine, he found that the camshaft that I had asked Mark to install was not the one installed and no lubrication on it; the wrist pins were dry as a bone, as were the cylinder walls/pistons. The tips of the valve stems were mushroomed; the push rods weren't straight...the straightest one was .024" out. The final insult to this was that the engine was darn-near impossible to turn. It took my engine builder 24 lb/ft to turn the crank, and that was without the pistons and rods in the engine. The reason for that is because the crank was .001" larger than the mains. One of the things I asked Mark was whether his company does a line bore on the mains. His answer was no, because it's just going to go out of round anyway. Long story short, it cost me an extra $2969.49 to have my engine properly rebuilt. I could have and should have just had my old engine rebuilt, which would have saved me time and money, the latter being very important to me, given that I am a disabled Veteran, and every penny counts.

    Save your money, time and go elsewhere! Unprofessional, rude, etc. Never received my core…read moreexchange refund. Horrible customer service. In regards, to the engine work. Well that Engine blew within 2 years....Enough said. They actually don't deserve the one star.... Beware! They also DBA California Engines. .
