Reman's are hit or miss quality wise. If you have the choice let a quality machine shop rebuild your engine. If you must go reman then it's Jasper <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> or ATK <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />

Motorworks is bad too! But we'll find out when I bring it in to collect on the warranty. Mine's had low end 'death rattle' since I got it. I haven't had time to bring it back to Connecticut to have the engine replaced yet. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Stay away from orient engine (I think there website is down) I'm suing them for my 2.6. They don't stand behind there stuff at all. ***Edited By DougH*** The first engine I got from them was pumping oil in to the water. They replaced that one for free. Then the second one started to smoke, and lost power after 5k miles. I sent that one back to them and they said there was dirt inside of it and it chewed up the rings. Had a machine shop look at it and it was full of metal residue from them not washing it during machining. Don't go with the re man take it to a good machine shop that has good equipment Edit: found them http://www.orientengine.com/ Racially derogatory comments are not allowed: DougH

If you want a good 3.0L, either learn to build it yourself with the help of a good machine shop, or take it to someone who really knows the engine... maybe a dealer tech who will build it as a side job.
The 3.0L is a good engine, but it does have some unforgiving assembly issues on rebuild that re-manufacturers don't seem able (or willing) to overcome. It takes a lot of time and effort to rebuild that engine well.

Stay away from power pro... they over machine the heads and deck, and then have a gorilla with an impact wrench reinstall the headbolts. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> I agree with Frank. Get a good machine shop, and a clean work area and do it yourself. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

All there employees are Mexicans that don't know there ass from a hole in the ground Hey now! Let's not get racially derogatory. Moderators might frown upon such a thing. P.S. In this case, the appropriate spelling would be their. I'm sure most Mexicans know that.
