Engine Rebuild

My 88' Chevy Truck needed a fresh 454 c.i.d. engine. I found Pacific Engine Rebuilders, Inc. through the nickel want adds as the only one that would touch a big block motor. (or so I thought being new to this area)

The engine took forever for the rings to seat. Gas mileage was poor from the start but was worse when they got done.

You would hope that a new engine wouldn't use much oil. At least not like an engine with over 200,000 miles on it. But that's not the case with this one. It leaks and burns oil like they didn't bother with the engine rebuild.

The truck blows a serpentine belt every 500 miles. Come to find out, that Pacific Engine Rebuilders used the wrong main shaft pulley for the belt and it's off by over 1/2 an inch.

Pacific Engine Rebuilders charged me to resurface the fly wheel for the new clutch but a transmission shop here in my local area showed me that they didn't bother to do the work.

Even having 200,000 plus miles on the truck, it used to pull my 16' work trailer without a problem. It's been to southern California and back several times. In that trailer was my tools for work and my full dresser Harley. After Pacific Engine Rebuilders got done it won't pull a hill with my tool trail at all.

The owner of this company refuses to talk about it. His employees are less than qualified to do the work. Just like the last two people that commented on this site, he was full of excuses and how it's not his fault.

I can't stress enough to anyone wanting an engine rebuilt.... Stay Away From Pacific Engine Rebuilders, Inc. I'm out $6,000.00 dollars and consider it stolen at this point.

Sad to say I had a very bad experience with Pacific Engine.  The rebuilt engine failed in just 2000 miles.  They refused to work with me to get the problem fixed.  All they offered was excuses and to shift blame to others. Their Better Business Bureau reliability rating is a “D” on an A-to-F scale.  Yes, that is a “D” just like a bad grade in school, nothing to write home about.  I am placing this message to warn potential future victims…Pacific Engine’s work is inferior and they will treat you like garbage after taking your money.  Be sure to check out their BBB rating before throwing away your hard-earned money.
