    Hey everyone,

    I just inherited a 95’ Tacoma, 2.7, 4x4 with 250k miles and I've got some major rod knock.

    I found a few JDM engines local but I am leaning towards a motor rebuild.

    Can anyone recommend a good shop in the So-Cal area? I live in Whittier but I can have AAA tow it anywhere within 200 miles.

    I called Squirrel Concepts in LB, and YotaMasters, but unfortunately they couldn’t help me.

    The shop doesn't need to be cheap, just looking for someone I can trust. Any help is appreciated.

    There is also revolution engines in Ontario, but you'd need your engine pulled already. It's an engine only shop.
