THIS SHOP ISINT WORTH ANY STARS BUT AT LEAST ONE IS REQUIRED TO LEASE A REVIEW. I have done business with this shop twice for marine engines. The first time I received a 318 Engine with a badly scored cylinder in # 5 and the wrong timing chain unfit for marine service. The engine had to go back. The second time I purchased A 318 Reverse rotation engine. They used a modified rear main sealing method by polishing out the helix from the crankshaft as he didnt have the correct one for reverse rotation as Chrysler marine put the helix in the crank and not the seal as done in Ford or GM based engines. This is not approved by Chrysler Marine or Felpro gasket company and was not the sealing method he explained he would use when I spoke to Joe Horton Of Marshall Machine and authorized the charge to my credit card , again the engine had to go back. After the engine was returned I found a Rocker bar on backwards , when I called Joe he said it didnt matter. The service manual for this engine specifically states the Proper installation. After installing this engine upon initial startup it had bad blow by that is pressurizing the crankcase in spitting oil out of the dip stick sleeve and the rear main seal has a massive oil leak. The compression is well under 100 PSI exhaust port temps are 100 degrees below that of the normal running engine. The engine is useless and has to come out and worse than the bad engine I replaced . I purchased the first engine just as the new ownership had taken over in 2013 and this second engine August 2016. Marshall Machine claims his engines are bench tested before they leave his shop, That is not true. It is the consumer who is the test of these poorly rebuilt engines and it is the consumer who has to deal with all the headache afterwards. this purchase is in dispute with the credit card company and he's lying like crazy. I do not recommend this shop as the quality is below substandard and leads to major Headaches and expenses. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR , FIND A REPUTABLE SHOP THAT IS BBB Affiliated AND BUILDS THEM CORRECTLY.6/12/2017So, now after six months I have finally had chance to get this junk engine out of my boat, I have removed the rear main bearing cap to see why I had such a massive oil leak only to discover that after all the discussion and promises about how he was going to do this seal the rear main, even after taking the engine back over the seal issue to begin with I find that he completely lied to me, He used a standard rotation crankshaft and that was the cause of this massive oil leak. If you look closely at the seal you will find the helix grooves in the crankshaft are set for standard rotation engine. This guy promised me he used the correct crank! Also this engine had such poor compression I had to put a bar on the flywheel bolts to loosen the balancer bolt and flywheel bolts as the engine spun over with no resistance. HE IS A LIAR AND A SCAM ARTIST who does spray can rebuilds. I HAVE A GOOD MIND TO SUE HM FOR ALL MY EXPENSES.

i.e., A locI want to thank Joe and his crew for going above and beyond to get my truck back on the road. I purchased a motor for my 2004 Dodge Ram..and he delivered it to Milo - about an hour and a half drive. The person who installed it told me right afterwards that the engine had a knock and that a rod was probably the issue. I called Joe and he had it towed back to his shop. He had his men take the engine out and found that the issue was an injector on my truck that was stuck open creating the knocking. He put the engine back in the truck - at his expense-and drove it back to me after it was completed! He didn't ask for any money - even though the problem wasn't the engine he sold me. He was cooperative and professional and a real stand up guy. He showed me how much integrity he has...and even though it costs him to do it...he made me whole again. I highly recommend Marshall's Automotive.....they aim to please their customers. Tony Hamlin, Miloal favorite, or highly recommended beca

Joe is very knowledgeable and went out of his way to help me over the phone with some difficulties i encountered during the install. Highly recommend Marshall's!
