Hey Havoc, We used Jasper for several years at the Wheelchair van/taxi garage I work at.
The vehicles we run are on the road all day long, under severe service. I would say the Jasper stuff holds up well. We buy mostly AC Delco units now because we get a better price. They hold up well also. The only problem I can remember with Jasper was a Ford 351 that came with a 302 cam. When we couldn’t get it to run right we called the 800 number. Amazingly a knowledgeable person answered the phone! He came up with the idea of switching the firing order to make it run. He told us it was possible the two cams were mixed up during the rebuild. He said the guy doing the test run may have used the 302 firing order to dyno it. He also got another engine on the way to us from his warehouse in Buffalo that arrived the next day. Even though it was a screw up, they handled it. They focused on solving our problem. I was on vacation the next week, but I think in the end, we ended up using the engine they sent us originally. It was in a money making van, and the whole front would have had to come back off to change it again. My point is they stand behind their product and have excellent costumer service. They aren’t cheap though.Jasper is good to go, and they stand by there warranty. The shop I work at uses Jasper and we are a warranty repair shop for them. We had a Chevy Venture with a Jasper engine get towed in that was, IIRC, 15k miles out of warranty. They didn’t pay labor but they did give them a new engine.
