I have heard good things about Metric Motors as well but haven't gone any further with them than a quote. They were polite and professional in providing the quote and the quote was very detailed.
 
I have a stock 97 that runs but has knocks and large oil leaks. 245k. I was going to sell it but can't talk myself into it. I need a good source for a reliable 1fzfe and can't find anybody that can help locally. It's in Las Vegas, and I work in Salt Lake. It needs knuckle therapy and a few other things, but has a very solid body and interior. If anyone has a connection or some good info on a trusted source for an engine, I would appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance...
Have you tried Steve at Japanese Auto Parts & Wrecking? He is in Lehi.

If you're just wanting to outsource the work Metric motors in centerville will pull the motor and/or rebuild it. I have used them several times and always have at least a few older cruisers. Fantastic work.
That's the shop that Outfitters referred me to. They are also out of the engine rebuild/swap business. He was happy to do the knuckle therapy/lift/suspension but is no longer tackling engine work at that level. Another dead end. Thanks for the referral tho

Metric Motors isn't doing engine rebuilds and head jobs?

@I Lean remember when we talked about this almost a year ago?

Take it to Boise and @SNLC ?

If there really isn't a competent shop in Salt Lake, or Utah for that matter, to do 1FZ or other rebuilds, it's a sad state of affairs.

I agree. Never thought it would be so difficult to find a shop to do the job. Metric is able to do the other work that I need, but they aren't touching engine work anymore. He couldn't even recommend a place to take my rig for a rebuild. Kinda bummed with what I've found so far.
 
Check with Casey at Point S in Woods Cross. He has a specialty shop on site that specializes in cruisers. He's always got a couple of personal projects and mechanics with training and experience with cruisers.

100%. Outfitters referred me there and I spoke with them in person. Sounded like it was a new thing.
