I previously suggested Orange Engine as a reputable rebuilder, but you would
need to do your own install.
I hesitate to recommend a particular shop. You already know that I do business
with Jeeps R Us (and am their lawyer), but they may be too expensive for you.
T&J's does good work, but are probably just as expensive for a job like this.
You might try calling John at All Four Wheel Drive in Corona. His is primarily
a gear shop, and he probably doesn't do engines, but he is a straight shooter,
knows all the players in the Jeep business in Southern California, and can tell
you who in Orange County knows Jeeps and does good work. Tell him I referred
you.

Re: Discovered Bore
Thanks Bill,
I am trying to keep the $$$ down. Thanks for the recommendations.
<vent on>
It really frosts my butt that I can't afford a real house here. This state
(CA) is way out of line. Plus I have to listen to the freak'n helicopters
buzzing around my appt all the time. "The choppers man, the choppers!!!!".
I'd really like to find work in AZ where the homes are still reasonable and
I can have a garage where I can pull an engine.

Re: Discovered Bore
I contacted the shop closely after I bought the jeep to try to determine
what they did and they couldn't give me an answer because of the time
between when it was done and when I asked.
