About 1 year ago, I delivered my miata block and cylinder head to here to bore for bigger pistons and seat 1mm bigger intake and exhaust valves. They painted the block and put new glow plugs in, looked brand new. They cleaned the head, installed new valve guides and seated bigger valves. When all done, price was reasonable and it looked like a brand new engine. Would recommend this shop to everyone in the San Fernando Valley area.

Ordered a reconditioned head for a fiat 500. Head was in great shape. Looked brand new. Packaging was good. Very well protected. **Be sure to keep you box. It has your return shipping information for your core charge**

Took in a 1999 Miata cylinder head for a valve job and the shop had it turned around in a couple of days looking fantastic. I got it installed on my car and it’s performing great. Would highly recommend these professionals based on my experience. I took in my own valve stem seals.

American Modern Engine did an outstanding job rebuilding my engine! From start to finish, they were honest, professional, and clearly passionate about their work. They kept me updated the whole way, and the attention to detail was impressive. My engine now runs smoother than ever-like brand new! You can tell they take real pride in what they do. I highly recommend them for expert, reliable engine service. Highly recommended this service shop to friends & families! Thank you guys!

I asked for a complete restoration of my engine but was completely disappointed. At first I thought it was a misunderstanding of miscommunication but the main boss Darren was outraged when asked if he could finish the job I originally asked for. I tried to be decent, but he wasn’t having it and continued to raise his voice. He claimed it’s impossible to clean an old engine block throughly disregarding remanufactured blocks. The job I received initially was a block that had old paint showing, some old gasket still on the fuel pump housing, corrosion and rust within the block, and it took 4 months to complete after repeatedly being told “another 2 weeks,” “another 2 weeks.” (Photos will showcase my experience) Overall bad communication, probable lack of knowledge from concerns I had with my situation, and lack of good service. Don’t not recommend at all.
