Re: jg engine dynamics reputation
I personally would tell you keep away from them. They are a bunch of thieves down there bad customer service no one ever answers your calls and if you get a faulty build like I did from them they just will ignore you after a while and stop answering your emails. Thats a really bad company Javier, Rick and Kerrie and all his workers need to be sent to jail.

Re: jg engine dynamics reputation
had a friend deal with them... he ordered a built b20 vtec from them!
id say stay the **** away!!!!!!
1st it took him like 8 months to get it after getting the run around on the phones like stated above! yes he waited 8 months after payment was made in 100% full!!
2nd motor ran for like 20 miles and blew a head gasket at low load just breaking itt in! so we change the gasket cause we got ahold of mr javier and he said the motor was built with a 84mm head gasket but was a 85mm bore!
so we got the right gasket and yeah it still leaked so we took the head off and took it to a local machine shop and turns out it was milled at a angle! it was flat but had a .0010 from one side to the other! had endyn fix it and o-ring it to make sure it was all good!
3rd decided to pull oil pan off and turned out it had a gsr crank in it!
i mean other then that motor made great power aside from alllll the **** he had to go thru after paying like 5k for a complete build

Re: jg engine dynamics reputation
wow, i wish i would have read this before purchasing a head from them that they claim flows 314 cfm. now im a little nervous about it. Javier sounds really nice over the phone and he sounds honest. im starting to understand why the phone just rings now that ive recieved the head. im still waiting to hear from them.

Because when you buy an Edelbrock part for any Honda/Acura, you are supporting them(JG Engine Dynamics). If you notice, all the Honda/Acura parts are JG Edelbrock, where the JG is for Javier Gutierrez of JG Engine Dynamics, but the parts for other vehicle makes are just Edelbrock.

Re: jg engine dynamics reputation
Way back in the day about 6 years ago i got a complete built B18c head from them, top notch everything. Payed a pretty penny for it. To sum up the story it would never seal to the block went through 3 headgaskets before i figured out the head was the problem. At the time there werent alot of complaints about them and i figured i was at fault not them they obviously know what their doing right?? WRONG!!!!!!!
I took it to a machine shop in town and they showed me where the head was over milled and a hairline crack that was causing it to blow head gaskets. I never recieved a refund from them and refuse to buy anything with the name JG on it. I hope they go out of buiesness soon. So yeah at least 6 years of doing crappy work and stealing peoples money.........

Re: jg engine dynamics reputation
i got cams from them and they worked out good for an LS. but from what ive read over the years there engine work is blah. just get a benson/earls/golden eagle block and find a good machine shop to assemble or assemble your self

Re: jg engine dynamics reputation
javier is a scammer i've been to his shop with my brothers and i live in montreal canada... he is a loser and he should be hung. he is the worst engine builder in the world and if your smart never order anything from them... i ordered a "turn key" product.... it was far from turn key and he said it was fully built and when i opened it up he fashioned dry sleeves into a wet block... he is a liar and a cheat. and stole my money. and javier knows if i catch him it won't be pretty. i have a parts list he sent me of my purchase and when i got my engine.. i was missing over $4500 in parts fuel pump msd ignition intake manifold work hondata ect...ect.... JG engine dynamics is a SCAM>and if javier is reading this. don't ever think just cause your in cali. that i won't comeback down there. one of these good days my friend, you wont have anything. sure he sounds nice but thats all a show he puts on....... i waited over 1 year for my setup and he gave me excuses... like two family members died THE SAME DAY and he had a heart attack. then he hurt his arm and he wanted to be the only one to build my engine he lied sooooo much he couldn't keep up with himself. that is why he doesn't answer the phone because he has people calling him threatening his LIFE. some people want this guy dead... one week after i sent him the money i caught him on some potography website showing off a new $3000 camera he got (with my money for sure) posting up pics of nothing instead of working on my motor... HE HAS NO TOOLS IN HIS POSSESION THAT INVOLVES SLEEVING OR INCREASING AIRFLOW IN YOUR HEAD. HIS SHOP IS A HOLE IN THE WALL. I HOPE NOBODY EVER MAKES THE MISTAKE I MADE. KARMA WILL FIND YOU JAVIER. YOU MAKE MY BLOOD BOIL. AND THE NEXT TIME IM IN CALI IM COMING TO SEE YOU

LOL, ya he ****ed me also on a number of things, but atleast I got my products back, but for my head on my race car the port job seems to be really nice, but had to put another 1200 dollars in labor for a correct valve job, bowl work etc.... and had to replace valves, guides everything but the springs. So I have well over 3k in my head now with out the cams! Oh well but I could not have said it any better man. I do know some people that live out that way and know him or has been there recently and they say he does have serious health problems and maybe give him 5 more years to live, But that is still no excuse to rip people off etc.....

Re: jg engine dynamics reputation
Most people in So Ca don't even bother going to JG, there are plenty of other shops that do quality work within reasonable price. This is coming from personal experience dating back to 1992 when he was still a "machinist" and we would go to him to build our engines for the street races. He is shady back then and he is still shady today. Stay away if you know what's good for you...unless you like to burn money.

Because threads like this used to always be deleted by the mods. So you go and do a search before you buy and nothing comes up. I've fought and fought this before, thankfully this one is still here and will remain to inform people of the shady business practices that plague this industry.

When in doubt post a thread asking for other peoples experience and quality of work. No one will bash you or hate on you for asking that question. Better to ask other peoples experience with a company before spending a load of cash with them. If people tell you to stay away and you dont then dont go posting a hater thread on them you were warned.....
