Default Has any one worked with Precision Engine Machine Company in Hyattsville

Hydro-locked my engine (Hydo-locked thread) last week. My mechanic and a friend recommend Precision Engine Machine Company in Hyattsville http://www.precision-engine.com/.

These guys are big into hot rodding musle cars, but said they've done some S2000 work. I was wondering if anyone had some experience with them.

I'm not familiar with them, but let us know about your experiences with them if you do end up using them.

My brother both worked for Jan and with Jan. They are experts and professionals with decades of experience in engine building.
Jan and his son are the real deal. Hot rodding, muscle cars, NASCAR engines... Flow testing equipment, custom head work, you name it.

You want a corvette that will break the tires loose in all six gears?
See Jan.

Can't speak to their S2000 experience, tho.

Jan and Michael are top notch. They had just finished up rebuilding another S2000 motor and still had the factory manual. When I spotted the little F20C crankshaft dwarfed by all the V8 and V10 cranks Jan started telling me that the engine held the record for most horsepower per cylinder until recently and about all the high performance parts used in the stock motor. They were excited to be working on the motor.

They finished the motor yesterday, so I should be up and running next week sometime.

Keep us posted of the results. I'd love to know how a fresh F20C .025 over feels. Glad this story sounds like it will have a happy ending.

It is hard to sleep knowing that I'll be VTEC'ing soon (after a suitable break in period of course).

So it wasn't just rebuilt, it was built?

Hyattsville is a ghetto shithole. I wouldn't do business with anyone there.
