Default Affordable reputable engine builders in AZ?

I think my rings might be going bad due to excessive blowby. Do you guys know of anyone locally that can rebuild my engine that won't rip me off. I thought about laskeyracing, but would rather have someone pull my engine and do it here.

I Agree here

IMO if I had to rebuild I would go SOS, they are not at all cheap but you get what you pay for. And in the event something went wrong with the rebuilt engine, I have no doubts whatsoever, that SoS would step up and take care of it, no questions asked.

I know SOS is good, but the engine rebuild is way to steep for me. I would rather go with a Laskey Built block and have a longer wait time.

I'm probably gonna do another compression test just to be sure. Worst comes to worst, i'll have a shop check the engine out for me.

I had UMS do my engine rebuild. I am very very happy with the service that I was provided.
