Recon is one to stay away and I seen one chicken *&^% repair they did.Replaced one a second time and the third time pulled the driver's side on a Vortec 350.Recon put a sleeve down one of the headbolt holes sticking out a 1/16" an inch of the head gasket surface and it was a cause of a blown head gasket.I have seen proof auto parts store reman engines use cheap parts.A Jasper rep I know brought in a set of King bearings which the reman engines from auto parts stores use,made in Israel.Jasper only uses the highest quality parts using Clevite bearings.Plus the pistons used in a reman engine from the auto parts stores are made in China and that includes all the parts.Most of the warranty work on an auto parts store reman has to be done at one of their places and it is a hassle.Jasper is another story,take the vehicle to any Jasper dealer and Jasper pays the labor on the spot after it is called in from the Jasper dealer
