I'm considering getting a complete remanufactured, zero-mile 3UZ-FE motor to drop into my LS430, but the motor is just that - a bare motor. It will need to transfer stuff from the old engine, like pulleys, spark plugs, coils, harnesses, timing belt, etc.

Problem is, I already took it to a mechanic once to rebuild my current 3UZ-FE and I have a feeling it was a half-*** job, considering the valve cover gasket and spark plug seal were supposedly replaced, but one year later I found oil flooding the spark plug chamber. Add that to the fact that I'm the 4th owner and I have no prior service history of the car, I think I might feel a bit safer if I just drop a reman motor in. I don't trust the mechanic I took it to for major work like this. Anyone have suggestions for the SGV and/or surrounding areas? I can drive pretty far if needed. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

I've been pleased with the services they've done on ours, 2-timing belts, various suspension fixes.
