Hi All,

Have been searching the archives but looking for some recent successful vendors to get a rebuilt 22RE from.

I've looked at Jasper but don't think I can afford them. Oregon Engine Rebuilders looks promising and they're reasonably close to my Idaho home so hopefully shipping would be reasonable.

But of course if you Google something you get lots of pros and cons for everyone (nightmares, praise etc.) so it's hard to sort through.

Anyone who can share first hand good or bad experiences it would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

well if you live in Idaho you could also look at Sunwest engines in Deer Park (Just outside Spokane). If I was going to buy a completely rebuilt engine done by someone else, I would at least like to go there and check it out. Their prices seem reasonable, but I haven't found another warranty like Oregon engines. But are you really gonna ship it back to them every time there is a problem? I guess that's what you have to weigh before dropping close to 2 grand on a motor.

Good luck and let us know what you get!

 

From what ive read on here, Jasper engines arn`t that good. I just read a post here somewere about someone that has a fairly new rebuilt engine from Jasper and the block cracked and they wouldn`t cover it under warranty, sounds like poor customer service to me.

 

Thanks for the replies, I've heard weird things about Jasper too. Hadn't heard of Sunwest, will check them out as they're pretty close to home.
