This company is a scam order a $20,000 engine from the company and kept getting the run around regarding it being shipped and will send the tracking number. Product as well as tracking number never showed up. Buy and your own risk!!!! Edit!! This engine was purchase under Desert Excavating post on behave of the owner who did business with him.

Bought two engines from Jacob's diesel/ Virginia diesel. Engine #1 arrived late. I didn't believe the excuses to why it was late. Too many excuses. Delivered with wrong bell housing, wrong valve cover plate, had no way to add or check oil, and some other small issues. After dropping oil pan and putting on my old bell housing and taking care of putting several parts from my old motor into my new the engine it actually ran good. The engine does have oil leaks, had to replace some gaskets due to me having to replace parts on the fly. I am a commercial operation and don't have time for this kind of mistake from an engine builder. I now have a rear main seal leak as well. He told me from the beginning all I needed to put on the new engine is a starter, alternator, and water pump. Well, that wasn't the case with my motor. I give this job a 3*. Late and not ready to run as I was told it would be. Engine #2 Well, I never received engine #2. After being lied to for three months, I was being told that the engine would be ready next week for two of the three months. I am a commercial operation, I don't have time to be lied to and drag the job on. After three months Doug actually sent me my whole deposit back. This is not what I wanted. I wanted a rebuilt cat 3126 that my business was really relying on. Doug also sent me a new bell housing, and electrical harness from his first engine that was messed up. I give this engine a 1*. Overall I give a 2* because I received my deposit back. Doug is full of excuses, too many. His favorite saying is "next week", don't believe it. I won't do business with Doug again.

Doug did an excellent job of completing a reman of a CAT 3116 350HP marine engine for me. The engine runs beautifully! While the completion was a little later than expected, Doug would always answer my calls and provide updates - a minor delay was much less important than taking the time and completing it properly. I did have questions post completion and again, Doug would always answer my calls. I would definitely recommend using Doug and would certainly use him again when I need his services.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you. I have one confirmed story and two others pending of a similar experience. Please feel free to contact me. And Mr Jacobs to your response below, you have not tried to help, you have avoided me and told me how I voided your two year warranty, and they still don’t run correctly, you are just now replying when you knew this review and others were up and brought them to my attention, but we will let the judge decide and I will surely report back to Google land and let them know how you did me wrong… and any good mechanic knows that a diesel engine will run, but does it run under load…. Again people, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Doug was amazing to say the least. I purchased a remanufactured 3126 which was delivered to my company Badfish Charters, LLC in Port Aransas Texas. The engine was installed by a 3rd party and was not done correctly causing a failure. Doug went out of his way to personally drive me a new long block from Virginia to Texas and make sure that I had everything that I needed to get up and running again. Due to time constraints Doug was not able to finalize the install on that trip. He did however fly back down to Texas 2 weeks later and finished the engine install and signed off on his work. I am thoroughly please with his services and will most definitely be using him again in the off season for another 3126 rebuild and any engine maintenance we may need.
