engnbldr feedback
Reading through all the thread and such i see that engnbldr is a pretty popular guy with great prices. Now my question is what do you guys think about him?
Im looking to buy the following
-Gasket set (hoping it includes all the gaskets, and that they are well quality)
-a couple valves
-head bolts
-timing belt
I just want to make sure i am buying quality parts from a reputable dealer.

Just gone done building my 22re using all engnbldr parts. The parts all seemed top notch quality, he's been building engines forever, and the price was unbeatable. That said, my rebuild after 3000 miles is still burning a LOT of oil, but i don't think it's the parts i got from him causing the problem.

You don't want to buy a couple of valves. You want either 4, 6, 8 or 12 of them. Depending on how many cylinders the engine has and whether you'll be replacing ALL of the intake and/or ALL of the exhaust valves.
How is it that you know that?
FYI, his 4Runner is actually a 93. This thread is in the wrong forum. So, as far as I can tell, you only have a 50% chance of being right. Unless you know something I don't...

I got a rebuild kit and cam for my 88 a few years back. I had it built and it was very powerful however it burned oil from day 1 until the day I sold it a year later. I would highly recommend using hastings rings as I did on my 84 from which I have not had any problems. Everything else with engnbldr was great including the service and the buildup could have been a factor, regardless ill use Hastings... Period! Yes. Ted is very helpful

i have nothing but good things to say about ted, i ordered my 3.0 rebuild kit from him and everything arrived quickly and he responded very quickly to my emails even after the business hours.
quality wise it all seemed to be of good quality, this was my first ever rebuild so im not an expert but everything went in with ease and about 2500 miles later it is still running perfectly and mine does NOT burn oil at all! it leaks lol but not burn, just have to measure all of your ring gaps and make sure the gaps are orientated correctly!

Some of you need to search before you say "never seen anything bad ever"

Engnbldr has great customer service.
Parts quality seems so-so on occasion. Will Ted screw you over? Not in a million years. He will take care of you in an instant.

Ted and Todd are great guys, no doubt about that. The DJ Rock parts on the other hand...well...are not the best by any means. I've yet to have a Rock part last longer than 30,000 miles. If you know this going in, then you know what to expect.

Again great guys and strait foward I will defenatly deal with them agian..!!!!
