Default 2JZ Specialist in the Inland Empire

I recently took my SC300 to a couple of "Toyota Specialist" shops in Chino and Brea/Fullerton in am attempt to get an oil leak looked at off of what I think is the valve cover gasket area and/or elsewhere. Upon arrival, I shared the issue with the mechanic(s), and immediately got turned away because they felt the 2JZ is too complicated to work on and diagnose because of all the hoses and lines (as they put it). Ok... no problem, they have a right to turn down a job... no issues there, I understand. However, awkwardly both locations gave me the same feedback/rejection WITHOUT even looking at the car Solely based on the engine (2JZ).

Anyone know a local shop or mobile mechanic that either specializes in the diagnosis, break down, and repairs of a 2JZ? Someplace or someone who isn't intimidated and can get some repairs done?

Thanks in advance!

An old friend of mine is Eric at Masters Auto Care in Placentia. He's a master Toyota Tech, but works on everything. He did my timing belt and seals on my 98' GS300 way back in the day.
