Looking for a good machine shop that can be reasonable.

(If you don't have an acount it can be extemely high).

Need to check deck of head, polish the crank, check rods, surface a flywheel.

If anyone knows of an AP1 block that is available, please let me know.

Thanks.

I would like to keep her. But it all comes down to what my wife and I agree on.

I had two machine shops inspect my current block. Which has Darton sleeves, installed by a Darton recommended shop. I have been on the phone with Darton in Carlsbad CA and we were both pissed off on what I had to say, and what they had to say.

I am building this motor. I just need a good machine shop to inspect certain things. I am looking at inline pro for another sleeved block with AEBS sleeves.

I appreciate you checking with your mechanic. Let me know if you find anything out.

I just would like some leads when I get into town. Which is quite soon now. Next Friday.

I checked out a place called Motiva and liked what I saw. Haven't had any work done there yet but planing on it whenever I get the money for my supercharger.

Said he was friends with the guy at Solid Tech. and specialized on Honda.
