I ordered my engine rebuild stuff from them off ebay. Seemed fine. As long as its a brand name part you recognize, it the same stuff, just comes from a different company. But when it comes down to it, you already ordered it so it doesn't matter!

I figured if some of the stuff sucks I would use some of the parts and order some OEM parts. That way it wouldn't be total loss. I just like to get input from some other people about there experiences so I know what to look for. Thank you for your info hopefully it will all be good stuff.

Used them on some Subaru stiff.

I've used their timing belt kits on a couple of cars (Subaru and Honda). A lot of the Subaru guys recommend them. I had good luck with everything i've gotten from the.

I have ordered several 22 RE timing sets from them and never had a problem. I also ordered over 20 headgasket sets from them and not one problem. Their prices are great and the evergreen gaskets have been as good as any that I have ever used

I have used them a number of times, no problems dealing with them.
Your concern should be the quality of parts that you ordered. They carry different brands and the price depends on the brand/quality.

I purchased engine heads from mizumoauto in October of last year for my Toyota 4runner 3.0L. The heads came in record time on 10/07/20. I proceeded to have the heads professionally installed as well as the bottom end of the engine completely rebuilt. The engine had a small tick right from the start but I thought this was a normal wear in sound that would diminish. Well the tick became a knock after 450 miles at 590 miles the 4runner was no longer drivable. I had the vehicle towed back to the machine shop exactly 88 days later on 1/4/21. Mizumoauto was contacted and provided with the machine shop report describing what the problem was. When emailed mizumoauto stated that the product warranty period of 90 days had expired and no refund either partial or in-full would be given. Even with a full report from the machine shop stating that the product was defective from the beginning and reported on1/4/21. Mizumoauto failed to take any of this information into account and honor their warranty. My advice to anyone looking for quality auto parts from a solid company is go elsewhere. Do not buy any products from mizumoauto they do not back their products or warranty.

A lot of the time, typing on your phone doesn't translate to regular PC's very well. It makes the color come out dark, as you see here.
Type on your PC, or go in and change the color of the text on your PC when you have time.
Otherwise, we really can't read your posts.

Good luck!

I ordered a set of NPR brand rings from them for my 22RE and they sent me Evergreen brand. They did give me a refund but what were they thinking did they think they'd send me a set of rings in a plastic bag and I'd be good with that?
