L J’s Speed & Machine Shop Inc.

Called to ask about rebuilding my 6 cylinder. Owner was a total incompetent jerk on the phone. They should be contracting out their sales department to someone who understands service and sales. NEXT!

I can’t give you a 5 star because of a few reasons.
First off the engine you rebuilt for my 4Runner does run great but I’m really concerned with all the leaks…
1. You put some cheap cork gasket between my block/​oil pan started leaking immediately after priming/​running.
-(I replaced it with oem toyota fipg gasket maker and it stopped)
2. My heads seeps oil… Not a lot but the money I paid you guys it should not leak at all! Maybe you didn’t put RTV on the corners Like most forget not sure.
-(I’m probably not mechanically inclined enough for this)
3. My front Timing cover leaks. It will leave a quarter size drip on the oil pan in just a few days.
4. My front crank seal leaks as well.
When I called to ask what my options were you replied the engine has to be removed for us to work etc. «I’m not quoting directly» the engine has good compression but you came highly recommended from a coeworker at Travis AFB and your price was little high so figured it would be worth it. I was wrong…
Small update. 11/​10/​2015
I am removing the engine to replace the head gasket, timing cover gasket, front main seal. This engine is leaking out of numerous spots with a supposedly brand new block and all the labor and parts according to your receipt. The only reason I’m giving you a star is because the engine does run. Just leaves oil Spots everywhere.
