JDM ENGINE ZONEReviews of jdmenginezone.com

I ordered an engine which took about 3 weeks to get here. Once it showed up, I carefully inspected this engine to make sure that it was a good quality candidate for my 4Runner. Upon inspection I found that the engine was burning quite a bit of oil at one point. The exhaust ports had a lot of oil residual and carbon build up. I removed the intake plenum and poured out a bunch of water. There was a ton of rusty water sitting in the valley. The intake valves were also caked in carbon build up. I turned the engine over by hand to make sure it wasn’t seized. While turning the engine over I kept hearing a gurgling sound so I was watching as I’m turning the engine over, there were water bubbles and air pushing past the intake and exhaust valves on 4 of the cylinders during the compression stroke. On jdm engine zones website it says “All of our engines are carefully inspected for excellent compression, leakdown, and overall proper performance guaranteed” This was clearly not the case. I drained the old oil (and water), pulled the spark plugs and turned the engine upside down on my engine stand to get rid of any water trapped in the cylinders. There was quite a bit of rusty water that came out of 2 of the cylinders. I removed the oil pan and the internals definitely looked like there was poor maintenance done. It did not appear to be a low mileage engine at all. I removed the valve covers, one of the cylinder heads appeared to have been replaced at one point as the internals were a lot cleaner than the rest of the engine. I removed the cylinder heads to just replace all of the gaskets to make sure this thing will just run and be reliable but it turns out that removing the cylinder heads voids the warranty on this engine. I reached out to jdm and reported my findings and they were pretty much telling me to go screw myself. I had to just cut my losses at this point. I assumed the block was still in good shape so I purchased new cylinder heads and slapped them on there as well as replacing every single gasket and o-ring. Btw for jdm to honor a warranty, you have to install the block and heads as is and replace everything around them. If you replace head gaskets it voids the warranty. As this was my only vehicle, time was pressing to get my vehicle back up and running. I should have just went with my gut and ordered from jasper engines. It would have cost me the same amount of money for an engine with more peace of mind.

Sent wrong transmission then charged me 2 shipping and re stocking fee even know was their fault

This shop is full of thefts and they make Every excuse to take your money and leave you with nothing. Then they resale things that were already sold that were supposedly broken. If you want any real chances of getting your money back you have to take them to court! Good Luck if you buy anything from them. So that’s there response again NOT STATING THAT ANY IF THE STUFF was a fault of my own. As I am not a mechanic nor was I the one working on the car. I asked for a refund if not all at least half something so I can afford a new one else were and they refused to help resolved the situation in anyway as if I had something to do with the wrong installment. Spent 1300$ on a tranny I don’t have and didn’t receive anything to help get my car back on the road some company.

Buyer beware!!!! What they show you on the site and what you get are NOT the same. The one I was sent looked like it had been rolled down a very large hill. Lots of broken pieces and bent bell housing studs. Was told by 3 representatives mine was a bolt on application. It is not. Dowel pins on block are wrong, wiring harness on my car doesn't work with this motor. Wiring harness on shipped motor destroyed. Ecm needs to be reprogrammed. Submitted warranty claim and was told they don't find anything wrong and just go away. Spineless, dishonest businesses like this are what's destroying our country.

DO NOT GO DEAL WITH THIS JDM Ordered an engine, and they call to confirm the order. They spoke with the recipient and buyer. They sent an email request to get an ID Card for the shipment to be created. They received all the info and cancelled the order supposedly because of "fraud" even though all requested info was provided and there were no issues with the banking information. Horrible customer service and was hung up on when asking for management. Called back and Michael, who claims to be management, refused to assist and continued to hang up when I asked for his superior. Now they refuse to answer the phones and wont confirm that the order was refunded.

First I was told the engine and ,transmission assembled together when I receive it. I was not. Second, the transmission has a crack. So not only is the car not working. In addition, It will cost money for the mechanic to rremove it and replace. Also more time and hopefully you send sreplacement

It’s bs, the motor is damaged more than what it’s worth!!!! Definitely not a JDM takeout. Just a wrecking yard passing off junk for top dollar. DONT GET SCAMMED BY THIS SHOP!!!!!!!!!

DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY. THEY SELL UNTESTED TRANSMISSIONS AND DO NOT HONOR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. BOUGHT A TRANSMISSION FOR MY HONDA ACCORD. THE FIRST ONE THEY SENT WAS BAD AND SO WAS THE SECOND ONE. JDM BLAMED MY MECHANIC WHO HAS CHANGED HUNDREDS OF TRANNYS. IN THE END I AM OUT SEVERAL THOUSANDS AND A CAR SITTING IN A LOT.
