![]() That was ok to get me by but it still wouldn't pass CA emissions tests. The second engine burned slightly less oil, but being without a car so long I just committed to having to put a quart of oil in every week. So, I had to get a replacement engine sent out. The first engine I received quickly started burning a ton of oil and overall running like utter garbage, it was undrivable. They said they do compression tests and some other "inspections" but really there's no way that's the case for every engine they sell. What they don't tell you about these low-mileage used engines is that they have no guarantee that they run properly at all! They may come out of cars with less than 60k miles but these engines have been ABUSED. Again, save yourself the money and the headaches and do your shopping somewhere else. Other folks with similar experiences want to report these guys to the California Department of Consumer Fraud. Their lack of decorum and integrity, short of being sleazy, provide zero recourse in their so-called "customer service". ![]() I won the Court case for the full judgement plus Court Fees, but they sure made me jump thru hoops before I was able to collect the full amount they owed me. Even though it was under the 6 month Warranty period, they refused to honor it and I ended up taking them to Small Claims Court in Oakland, CA. After the installation, the engine lasted 17 miles before it croacked. Well, I live in Tucson, AZ almost 1,000 miles from their warehouse in Oakland and didn't have any other choice but to proceed. When my mechanic got the engine for the swap in my car, he warned me that the engine was rusted and in bad shape and he had to do several repairs to it before installation."they just spray-painted it gray to make it look good", he said. They sold me a bucket of bolts passing for "a used engine in good working condition", and their 6 months Warranty is not worth the paper it's written on. If you are a gambling person and are feeling lucky, you may consider buying a used engine from these guys, but unless you want to join the ranks of those scammed, stay away from them and take your business somewhere else. If I could, I would give Engine World 0 Stars.
