How was the work from the shop you used? Was the pricing and turn around time good?

Definetly recommend him for his work. Price was reasonable and he is very thorough and trust worthy. Had .60 over bore, decked block and balanced rods and crankshaft. Engine has been running great and no worries.

I definetly understand your worries about a good machine shop. When I have an engine bored and honed I tell the machine shop that I want to be present so I can take some pics for my scrap book, but I really want to be there to make sure they got that torque plate on and torque set to my specifications. Just cautions because of all the shaddy stories I have heard.
