Had some milling done for a 12 valve Cummins. Quality work done on time and on budget.

We have been working with Ron and his group now for probably 5 years and are very pleased with level of service we receive. Definitely go the extra mile, the tech support after the purchase has been awesome as well!! They do more then just engines there, they can source and supply all kinds of go fast goodies or point you where you need to go. We appreciate the great service!

August 23, 2016 Brad M - victim 6 2017.11.30 UPDATE: Growing list of victims: Darren B. from Vancouver, BC ($11,000.), Chis D. Carrot Creek, AB ($8-10, 0000), Christine L. Peers, AB ($8-10,000), Manu S ($1,200) and me, Randall Wong North Vancouver, BC ($14,000) Class Action Law Suit anyone? Don't add your name to the growing list of victims. Precision Racing Engines, Precision Engines or Precision Valve and Crank. 2017.11.16 My apologies as I had named Duane as the engine builder at Ron's shop. I believe his name is Darren. 2016.12.22 Opened Better Business Bureau case# 1282392. NO RESPONSE from "RON". NO SURPRISE?! Read the BBB for yourself. NO HONOR, NO INTERITY, NO LIES! 2013 I purchased my 69 Camaro convertible in South Carolina. The Camaro is fitted with a 396, factory Borg & Warner Super T-10/4 speed, 411/10 bolt rear. White's Automotive did Certification & Inspection. Jason, the manager said the engine was making an odd noise and recommended "RON NEWTON" at Precision Valve & Crank. "RON", the business owner said the rods were bent and a build was needed. I wanted 500hp, I wanted an Edelbrock!! "RON said $8k and we agreed. 2013 March I gave "RON" $4K deposit. 6 month build. "RON" blamed the delays on parts. "RON" kept asking for more money! April 29, 2013 = $2K. May 08, 2013 = $2K. May 13, 2013 = $1K. May 30, 2013 = $1K. June 05, 2013 = $2K. June 07, 2013 = $2K. (Total: $14,000) "RON" manage 450 hp. (I have Dyno tests video/photos). "RON" promised to pay me $1000 for the ProForm carb and removed it and installed "Holley" 850CFM. I specifically said, NO HOLLEY CARBS! They over jetted the Holley, trying to reach the 500hp as "RON" promised. I asked "RON" for a break down of expenses of the $14,000. I received an invoice for build $8995.00 a list of parts names and prices. No part numbers or engine specs. "RON"s invoice stated I paid $12.011.43. 2013 Sept. Received engine that was "Puking" gas. Smell of gasoline everywhere leaving black spots of gas on the rear chrome bumper, tail lights lenses and trunk spoiler. 2014 June. Langley Performance shop specializes in high performance engines, laughed when I said 500 hp at $14K. "Not with this set up". Jason (White's Auto), said I could have bought a crate 502 engine/502HP ($8,891.35) from Dave Wheaton GM, Victoria, BC. or 502 Ramjet $12,624.99. Both engines include a Warranty. 2015 Feb 26, I purchased an Edelbrock EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) Pro Flo XT ($5200CDN). To properly program the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) we needed engine specs. Jason and Duncan (White's Auto) asked "RON", Do you have the specs for the compression and camshaft? "RON" replied, Yes, but "RON" refused to supply them. 2015 Oct/Nov. "RON" spoke with Jason (White's Auto) and was upset at my post. Jason urged "RON" to provide the specs and that I would (and will) remove this post. I asked Jason to ask "RON" for the ProFORM Carburetor or the $1,000 he promised. "RON" told Jason, he doesn't remember the ProForm carb and requested proof. So I sent 5 photos. (see photo - "RON" is standing behind the ProFORM carb, in the Dyno room at Precision Valve & Crank). Honestly RON? After reading Mr. Chris Dorey's post, I'm sorry for not posting this sooner. Mr. Dorey, please accept my apologies! 2016 Jan 21. NO specs, NO ProForm carb or compensation. 2016 Jan 22. Jason (White's Auto) stated that "RON" denied any knowledge of the ProForm carb and the promise to pay for it. "RON" threatened "White's Auto" with a law suite. Ron added that he does not believe I will remove this post after he supplies the engine specs and the ProForm carb money. "RON" stated, why would he pay $1000 for a carb he can get for $500. I'LL STAND BEHIND MY WORD!!!! "I PROMISE TO REMOVE ALL POSTS ONCE WE RECEIVE & VERIFY THE CORRECT ENGINE SPECS (TUNING THE EFI) & WILL ACCEPT $500 FOR THE PROFORM CARB". Thats more than fair considering what I paid! 2017.11.30 Still NO engine Specs. Randall Wong (29 year Law Enforcement Officer) North Vancouver resident.

I have had Ron build me 2 motors now any they have been honest and fair on every build

Sep 3, 2018
I was recommend by some friends that already had work done by Precision Racing Engines. When I was up there doing a car show, I had met Ron and I had told him that I needed to get my engine repair or rebuild. I was told by another mechanical what sort of wrong with the motor. So, I had book it in November to get it rebuild. Well, when they had pulled the motor out and on the bench, Ron had called me and they took the engine apart in front of me. It had more problems than expected. So, we talked about it and went with full rebuild. I knew the cam was bad, but it looked like somebody took a grinder to it. Two cylinders were bad. It was already bored out at 40, so now it is a 60. As the engine was getting build Ron had called me to let me know what parts were going in and kept will informed. Before they started rebuilding the motor he had asked me how much HP I wanted and told him between 400 & 500. When the motor was finish Ron had called me to see it on the dyno and it pulled 525hp and 501 torque. I was very happy. After when I got the car back in early March, ( I told them they all winter to rebuild it), it sure was big difference from it was before. They asked me to bring it back for it's first which I did after 3000kms. The oil came out clean. (I was there when they it). On my Chevelle, I have a fiberglass hood and was a chrome pole to hold open the hood and Miguel said why don't you the springs for it. I told him I couldn't find them. Within 5 minutes asked if he can order it and I said yes and within a week it was on my car. Dwayne made sure the carb was always tuned and the motor just right great. I want to thank them all for what they have done and some of them have went out their way to help. If anyone asked me to recommend a place, they would be it and I have already recommend them Well, I had the car on the road for awhile now and have put on approx. 4000km and the it is running great. The power is there when I need it and that is barley touching the pedal. I don't think I have put my foot really into it yet but the Ron & the boys did a great job. I highly recommend them if you have motor to be rebuild.
