Just wondering if any of you guys have heard of or done any business with MHR down by Garden Grove, CA? I took my car in for a full rebuild back in late May and as of mid July my car still isn't finished. It's been almost 2 months now and I just wanted to know if it really takes that long to do a full rebuild on an H22. Please feel free to chime in.

Work being done and parts being installed:
-remove/install engine and drivetrain
-tear down, inspect and itemize all parts
-blueprint, balance and final assembly
-port and polish head, new valve seals, multi angle valve job, resurface, hot tank, assembly, titanium retainers, stiffer springs
-head gasket
-bottom end gasket kit
-oil pump
-bearings
-special machine work for frm sleeves (bore and hone)
-misc machine work, hot tanking
-Euro-R camshafts
-Euro-R Intake Manifold (was modified to bolt-on by 2point6)
-Fidanza Cam Gears
-P28 ECU w/ Hondata S300 (socketed for "plug 'n play" by hondata)
-RC Injectors
-Supertech Valvetrain with Valves
-Type-S Pistons (OS .25mm) w/ rings
-ES Motor Mount Inserts
-OEM Timing Belt
-Cam Seals

 

anyone?

 

Give them a call and ask.

Do they do their own machine work? If not, then maybe their machine shop is behind. I have seen that happen a few times at shops.

 

Ya, everytime i call him he keeps saying, "it'll be ready in two weeks." No, he doesn't have his own machinery so he sends it out to the machine shop. I just figured 2months is a little too long...

 

I'd show up there in person and ask to see what theyve gotten done so far. Maybe theyre just busy but its bunk when people tell you that it'll be ready every time you call. I've been in that same situation plenty of times waiting for parts be delivered.

 

well, he took about 2 wks to take the engine out...

 

2 months is too long by all means, for the work that they are supposed to be doing.

 

yeah, thats pretty sketchy. the engine could be out and torn all aprt in a day, then send the block out, get it back and spend a few more days putting it back together.


did you supply them with all the parts or are you letting them handle it?

I supplied all the parts except the valvetrain w/ valves and the rc injectors...

 

Complete builds take a while. Machine work alone can take an easy 8-12 weeks. The worst thing as a customer you can do is ride the place's ***. With these types of builds small things can always pop up and end up taking the whole build process longer than originally anticipated.

so how long you think I should wait before it becomes a serious problem? When I last talked to him, he said that the block came out of the machine shop and it's done. All he has to do now is finish up the head (valve job, P&P) and reassemble the engine.

 

INLINEPRO build my motor for almost 6 months. Cause their busy and mad cars in the lot

 

he's the only one working (if not, then with one other person) at his shop, so he pretty much does all the work (except for machine work). I'm pretty sure he's working on other cars when he tells me he was just working on mine. I just thought why take so long to work on several cars when you can just work on one at a time and finish them quickly...

 

if you're waiting for something to happen on one car... you might as well work on another whle you wait.

Exactly. Right now I have about 5 builds in process.

so how long should it be before i have to worry...

 

2 months is really good. I would worry after about 3-4 if you have not heard word from them.

 

6 months ago and they still weren't legit?

 

blast from the past

this build up happened a long time ago.
why wasn't any problems bought up in the first week after he picked up the car.
it's 2007 now and now he post this up like it happened yesterday

 

I had to be certain that the mistake of the total was not on my part. And because he was not willing to work with me over the phone, I wanted to let everyone know the truth about MHR.

 

i might have helped the situation if you bought the car back to them.

 

y r there 2 threads about this soap opera on here now...wtf???? settle this like men not like lil middle school girls bashin eachother on the internet

 

I am 500miles away and I am in school. He told me 2 weeks, I gave him 4 months. The car should've came out with no problems, no excuses.
