Google says the name was changed to MDR Automotive, and now shows it closed. I am not sure if this is true, just what it looks like.

I am up here in Redding, California.
Evans pricing is very good from my familiarity of engine rebuild costs up here. Example - 3-years ago, my brother-in-law took his L134 out of his 3A ex-navy jeep and sent it to the local machine shop for a rebuild. I think it cost him $2500- and I have no idea what components were replaced. I actually had to laugh, because I think his problem was a faulty accel-pump. But he was insistent on paying for a rebuild. It is good to hear that Evan is doing well with his shop ! Len |

I looked at Evan's profile, I see he has not been on the forum since Feb 2016. I Googled his business and read some reviews since he is not too far away from me. I suggest you all do the same.

Kulpfarm,
Did you mean L134? is L234 a typo?

I got a quotation from Classic Motor Machine ship for rebuild L134 including all the machine work, assembly, parts, primed and panted for right around $3000. Quote was given in August of this year
Super quick communication! Available for questions and eager to help

Evan - based on what I paid, your proposed price is a real bargain if it includes the parts and assembly. If not, even the disassembly and machine work would be a pretty good deal.
I am in California or you would have my work (CJ-5 225 V6). Mike |

A Google search shows he's still in business. His number was on the first page. Give him a call.

I know this is an old thread but are you still in business of rebuilding engines?

Your prices are very reasonable.
New Pistons, Rings, Rod Bearings, Main Bearings, Gaskets, Oil Pump, Timing Gears (or Chain) and Cam Bearing.
Have you guys priced all of these parts? And the machine work done?
My local shop charged $650.00 for all the machining which included the crank, rods, head milling, and removing a couple of broken bolts. They did a excellent job.
But EVAN is providing the parts included for $350.00 more.
I wish the best for you, and thanks for keeping a few more willys on the road.
3X on buying good used equipment, you can buy it cheap, but moving it will really hurt the wallet.

Yes, I've been in contact with Old Dominion Freight Line and they'll handle any sort of shipping for us. If you'd like I can see what it'd cost and also shop around for a good rate to ship it down here.

Yeah I lucked out as far as machines and tooling goes. The owner of the shop that I grew up working at as an apprentice retired this last June and offered me the shop--and all of the equipment--at a great price. The best part is that the equipment also included a huge collection of machine tooling and hard-to-find hand tools that he had built up over the past 50 years. It's just hard to beat some of the older tools!
