7m-gte from Jasper engines.

[masterchief819]

Have you guys seen the jasper engine rebuilding process? Heres a vid of it:

http://jasperengines.com/flv-streams/gaseng-reman.html

They have a nice rebuilt 7m-gte for $3500 with a 75k mile warranty. You guys think its worth it seeing how nice their rebuild process is rather than spending $700 on an engine from japan that has no warranty?

some people have good luck some dont.
JT87 with the na-t bought a rebuilt crank and such from them IIRC and it was no good

i thought toyota short blocks where only like 2500 or so?

Watching that guy with the wire wheel kinda turned me off. He was in High Speed mode and you dont get quality in that mode.

i think its PIONEER on here that rebuilds 7Ms, he has a very good history, and I think his pricing was better than that. PM him for some info.

I love the part where they brag about their cam lobe regrinds. Then the next scene shows some guy freehand buffing the cam bearing surfaces... Who needs round? We just want shiny!

lol

I'm going the $2,500 new Toyota short block and reman head route this summer. Or maybe my old valves/springs in a new Toyota casting.

For sure I'd go get my longblock from toyota if I had the cash. I actually did, but thought it better to build my forged block instead, but if and when this engine of mine explodes from my shitty assembly, I'm most likely either:
a) getting a new longblock from toyota which will be factory perfect or
b) importing a jza70 like I should have done from the start

Ofcourse if you got one from toyota you would either have to re-torque the headbolts to the correct specs so it WONT blow up, or simply replace the hg with a metal one as the surfaces will still be incredible as the engine is brand new.

Toyota does not sell a long block any more. The head is sold in 100 little plastic baggies and you have to assemble it yourself.

Total cost is around $6,500 for a long block equivalent.

Well that's a real bummer then.:icon_conf
