I have been using Derek at L&R for rebuild my customers engines for over 25 years Erick Voss Voss Performance read more

I had all of the machine work done on my stroked 5.7 gen3 hemi. Its a turbo'd deal making in the area of 1000hp. I carefully assembled the engine, checking everything and found no issues with tolerances anywhere. They are very professional and delivered work expeditiously. Just wanted to give them a shout out now that I'm out enjoying it! read more

They rebuilt my Ford 260 V8. I had to pull the motor twice because of cam break in which I know is not completely their fault but we had to throw a cheaper meiling cam and the performance is flat. Also is month later I'm getting a tap in the valve train and the exhaust smokes heavily after it has sat for a day or two. read more

Always wanted to have a 383 stroker built and learned L&R is down the street (talk about a gold mine). From the first time I walked in, Derek and his father Larkin were the most humble and welcoming people who took me under their wings throughout the entire process. Literally, I was invited to see the work happen at each phase and that was a perfect example of their type of customer experience you will get. They walked me through options and helped me make an informed decision I genuinely appreciate each day I see the beast they built. You don't get this type of knowledgeable yet welcoming experience these days and L&R sure has their business model figured out and I recommend them for ANY build and/or repair. I'm fortunate to have them in my backyard! Thanks again L&R for taking care of me - I really do appreciate it. read more

Overall a great experience. They made it right!!! Would go back again and again. Old school motor work!!!

I hope everyone realizes that I fully recommend L & R engines. I only pointed out that there are parts delays which are not the fault of L & R. They are a great shop and I will always go to them. Also they have a wait list because so many people recognize how good they are. Be patient and willing to wait. They are conscientious and solid. You won't find better than L & R. read more

All I gotta say is DEREK knows what he's doing ! He was super helpful and informative of their processes. The best part is They got my LBZ heads knocked out quick and at a reasonable price! Would highly recommend! read more

Brought my heads in for porting and they did a great job. They were super reasonable on price, responsive, and just an overall great experience! read more

Four years later and two transmissions later, the 350 you guys built for me is running as strong as ever, no fluid leaks, no funny noises. Your attention to detail has become apparent as I've worked more on the truck: I noticed all the freeze plugs are print side up and level. Who does something like that? I almost hope my big block has some sort of serious issue so I can justify bringing it to you for a rebuild! Great work! read more

Awesome shop, Derek is great and will not up sell you. Had a 347 stroker built and was really happy. Great prices!

Family owned and operated. Great customer service and the quality is top notch ! Derek was pleasant, informative and honest. I also enjoyed his appreciation and passion for the family run business. I will be back ! read more

I purchased a NEW SCAT STROKER KIT from these guys and everything was already opened. Crankshaft already had marks on the journals (Had it polished by Castillo's). Piston pins wouldn't fit the rods at all, big ends were off also off. Re-machined and re-balanced the rods at Superior. Cost me extra money and they didn't make anything right! All machine work on block and heads was very nice and clean. read more

15 year automotive mechanic, 8 year aircraft mechanic took some intake manifolds for match porting. Really nice job, really nice and knowledgeable people on what they do. These guys like what they do, have done it for a while and are working at a place with a positive feel to it. I'll be bringing more work in and recommend these guys to anyone. read more

Took a 302 block to get converted to a 331, everything went smooth took a month to get it back. Block looks great but have yet to install the block but will give a update once I do read more

Hands down the BEST automotive experience I've had in the 19 years I've lived in SoCal. Larkin the owner is an incredibly nice, patient and knowledgeable guy. Refreshing as most of the people in this trade don't want to give you the time to discuss you concerns, question and needs. The work they did to recondition my head is outstanding. They turned it around in a couple of days and the price was what they quoted which was a great price. Based on this experience I'll be heading back to them to have my next motor built. read more

Derrick and Larkin and Brent and the guys are a awsome crew of they have built motors for over the years go way above all the time can't wait for my next motor to be done I would recommend them to anyone love the work they do they have never disappointed me thanks for all the work you guys have done read more

My motor was "taken" to this shop for a rebuild. Then taken back to a "mechanic " for installing. Soon after the motor takes a dump. My fine dealership tore the block only to discover Mickey Mouse welding on piston rings, and same old corroded parts that were never touched. I give this place a one star because they at the least, they painted the block to look new. To top it off , the "mechanic " shops installation was a Mickey Mouse.. sad.. read more
