The engine in my 2003 Marauder was poorly rebuilt in 2012 and after taking the engine back several times to the mechanics who for years worked on my parent's cars, nothing was serviced correctly. Since then, this shop went out of business after 40 years in Los Angeles and I can't go after them because of the obvious: they're out of business!
To make a long story short, the rebuilt lasted 2.5 years and got about 35-45 thousand miles. It lost power in two pistons about 1 and half months ago.
My issue: My new mechanics have tried to locate a used marauder engine but they have had no success for about a month and half. They recommended and other mechanics have recommended Jasper engines
Does anyone know if these engines are worth the investment? I read the reviews and I've read a lot of negative feedback.
If someone in the forum can answer this or recommend another idea to find an engine. I'm losing patience and I might end up selling the car. I don't want to.
