Jasper used to make good rebuilt motors. Not anymore. Post covid we had nothing but problems and quit using them

The question is really: "What came first, the chicken or the chicken egg?"

Hello Dillon! Good to see you. I was beginning to think you didn't work there anymore. Thank you for sharing your knowledge once again. Enjoy your videos sir. Great work!

The only guy I want working on my truck is Dillon. He fixes trucks and doesn’t throw the parts cannon. Absolute professional. Thank you Dillon for setting the example for everyone else. I know it’s not easy

As soon as I heard Jasper I knew it would be screwed up. Jasper did not fail my expectations. It's amazing they're still in business considering the junk rebuilds they provide.

I've installed Jasper engines at a shop I managed. They used good internal and gasket sets, but I've seen a few of their engine rebuilds fail as well.

Dave , 3.725 -3.728 is .003” it’s technically undersize, but it’s not .020” undersize. 35 year general machinist here . Also get these guys some good calipers from Mitutoyo , that lcd display is really funky.

I love that you guys test drive stuff for a few days and actually put more than just a few miles on these big jobs.
