Not Cool.... Bad Rebuild on my 454 Chevy....
My 88` Chevy Truck needed a fresh 454 c.i.d. engine. I found Pacific Engine Rebuilders, Inc. through the nickel want adds as the only one that would touch a big block motor. (or so I thought being new to this area) The engine took forever for the rings to seat. Gas mileage was poor from the start but was worse when they got done. You would hope that a new engine wouldn`t use much oil. At least not like an ... view moreengine with over 200,000 miles on it. But that`s not the case with this one. It leaks and burns oil like they didn`t bother with the engine rebuild. The truck blows a serpentine belt every 500 miles. Come to find out, that Pacific Engine Rebuilders used the wrong main shaft pulley for the belt and it`s off by over 1/2 an inch. Pacific Engine Rebuilders charged me to resurface the fly wheel for the new clutch but a transmission shop here in my local area showed me that they didn`t bother to do the work. Even having 200,000 plus miles on the truck, it used to pull my 16` work trailer without a problem. It`s been to southern California and back several times. In that trailer was my tools for work and my full dresser Harley. After Pacific Engine Rebuilders got done it won`t pull a hill with my tool trail at all. The owner of this company refuses to talk about it. His employees are less than qualified to do the work. Just like the last two people that commented on this site, he was full of excuses and how it`s not his fault. I can`t stress enough to anyone wanting an engine rebuilt.... Stay Away From Pacific Engine Rebuilders, Inc. I`m out $6,000.00 dollars and consider it stolen at this point.

Sad to say I also had a very bad experience with Pacific Engine. The rebuilt engine failed in just 2000 miles. They refused to work with me to get the problem fixed. All they offered was excuses and to shift blame to others. Their Better Business Bureau reliability rating is a ?ˆ?D?ˆ? on an A-to-F scale. Yes, that is a ?ˆ?D?ˆ? just like a bad grade in school, nothing to write home about. I am placing this message to war... view moren potential future victims?ˆ¦Pacific Engine?ˆ™s work is inferior and they will treat you like garbage after taking your money. Be sure to check out their BBB rating before throwing away your hard-earned money.

From the disgruntled looser
Karl Logan,-Rusty,,little Feed back So you think i`m disgruntled customer, funny that you would even mention some one other than your self in your review of such a wonderfull service got and paid for, my guess if you were taken advantage of, you would be a disgruntled customer also,but we know thats not true,, go and read the reviews at yahoo and other web sites. it seams Rusty had purchased the same service as you,... view more Gee yah think the review was written by an employee or owner? Sounds like a sales pitch,,porting exhaust,studs, yada.yada.yada, Gee >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 9/30/2009 Karl sorry for the misspelling of your name, the two letters are close to each other, well well you guys just don`t quit< I`m a looser with issues huh! Well I`ll start off by saying that when I went to Pacific Engine back when I did, you were not the boss correct? So how would you know anything, But any way I`ll play the game. what you signed or what you did not sign is your fault, Gee word of mouth,not the way to do business yah think? and if you do business with a business that doesn`t have you sign the paperwork before the work is started, well you should look else where or expect a rear ending!, and I`m the looser,Gee , you Denounce me and my rating, please you don`t have that privilege, just because you think that you`re retired from R.O.T.C, does that really qualify you as a member of the Armed Forces? Calling some one else names as a retired military person, no don`t think so, they have more back bone than that, Time on my hands? No way,,Look who`s here just as much as I am, Karl is that you, so Karl or who ever you are! GET a LIFE,,, what you really should do is save the company the embarrassment, give a refund and learn from it and move on, they were caught, it`s as simple as that! so with that said I`m sure I won`t see you guys here again, oh by the way Karl, it`s spelled, sign not sighn,,Hello?? Karl are you even old enough to drive?

Go to yellowbot.com to see more on this crew.
I wish I would of found this machine shop when I did a net search for my motor build. I didn`t bother to use this shop thanks to the rating left by a disgruntled customer. I rate this shop exellent and can do what other machine shops can`t do. Port exhaust, install hardened exhaust seats, valve job, grind down non adjustible towers for stud & guide plates $967.00 See John, your in good hands!!!

Love These Guys
I just came to this site because I lost the phone number glad to find it so fast. Wanted to send a quick review out and say I love these guys. I have had two motors done by them and one of them I had them install as well. I have 30000K at least on each one of them and have had no troubles. I can`t thank them enough. They have no problem with customers coming into the machine shop and watching them work so I have... view more seen how precise the process is. I will never use any one else. Thanks again.

Use them everytime
Not sure what happened to that other guy. And did he need to write 2. Anyway, I have had 2 marine engines done by Pac Engine and each time they were perfect. Have a motor there now for my Dodge, can`t wait to get it. I will use them every time I engine machine work done.

They`re there own worst enemy
Didn?t get what I wanted and paid for! Paper work reflected different parts then I wanted, Very bad quality, engine had very low miles under 2k, low oil pressure 17 lbs at idle, builder said that was good enough, safety equipment shuts engine off less than 20 lbs, u would think they would know that,knocking at the main bearing and rocker arm noise, pulled it and returned under warranty it was disassembled in front of... view more me, we seen damage of rear main bearing, crank man said something went thru it and the builder was pulling chunks of gasket from oil pump screen, which they cleaned along with other major parts, picked it up few days later, paper work stated there was nothing wrong with it, checked all clearances, heads so forth, how can that be, seen the damaged bearing my self along with them, it was like polished chrome, not enough clearance using plastic gauge would have shown that. reinstall in the engine, what do I hear! valve train noise again, was told again that?s normal, Notta, after the warranty was up and I was tired of the noise so I looked to see what could be making the noise, boy was I shocked, I found that the rocker arms were completely worn out and lifter preload was all over.105. the valve springs were not installed correct, best at 90lbs S/B 110 thru 120 for the camshaft to work thru the rpm range,also found that they used defective retainers, which the manufacture replaced at n/c to them, now you would think they would change them for me because they made the mistake, no they said, here yah go, and you change them.i mean they were so defective how could you miss that after two inspections, would be like missing a thumb from the hand.they just slamed it together didn`t check any clearances what so ever,Paid good money for junk, if you had engine work there please contact me. email me >caughtyaw@hotmail. com, With that said, and the product that I received I can only say, Don?t go there unless you have to, there are other places to spend ur money
