I had worked all summer to save enough money for the engine and it turned out to be a pile of junk. this happened back when I was in high school. Alot of people have had good luck with the engines but not me. I have even turned down used cars that I was going to buy just because they had a jasper engine in them. I figured it would even cost more money that I did not have, to take them to court so I just left it at that and decide never to buy from them again. They would not replace the engine either. Their response was " oh we did not know you needed the parts right now" I told them I needed them a month ago. After a month of waiting for the parts to fix the engine they never showed up so we called them back. The mechanic called jasper and they said they had some bad rings that came out about when the engine was rebuilt and that was the problem. ![]() Yes it was installed by a certified mechanic. the engine was drinking oil from the start. The problem I had was with a jasper engine in a ford ranger. Note: I have neither the time nor the ability to do this kind of labor on my own. Any opinions or advice will be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks! Not to mention my attachment to the vehicle that I've grown to love over the last 7 years! But I also don't want to throw my money away on a repair that won't last. Any reliability issues? Do they uphold their warantee without major hassles? (3 years, 75,000 miles) Are there other alternatives? Do you think this is a reasonable deal? It'd be nice to say, "Ah, the hell with this one, this is a good excuse to upgrade to a newer model!", but I'm not really in a financial position to do that right now. I'd really like to go forward with the repair, but I'm interested to hear about other experience with Jasper engines in the past. I've recently replaced the clutch and the radiator (1.5 years ago) and haven't had any major issues to speak of since I bought the vehicle 7 years ago. That's far cheaper than looking for another new or used model. I got a quote from a local mechanic and he says that the engine + labor will run $2750. I've looked around and it appears that JASPER remanufactured engines may be the way to go. Even if there was, the mileage on a used 1989 engine would probably be far too high to bother replacing it. I looked around for a used engine, but there's nothing available. But now my engine is completely dead - had an oil leak during a long trip and it sustained heavy damage. I do some light off-roading, but nothing too risky because it's my only vehicle. It's currently got 120k on it and I typically put 3-5k per year. I have a 1989 YJ with a 4 cylinder, 2.5L engine that I bought used in 1999. ![]()
