Im looking for a place that does good work for a decent price im on a budget I need machine work done on my head and block I need some parts like pistons,rings,bearings,and gaskets and I also need it assembled.So far I talked to engine labs pretty nice people they told me $2020.00 and if I wanted it balanced it would cost me $2400.00.Is this a decent price or are they crazy?The things im looking to get done to my B18C1
The head
3 angle valve job
valve guides
decked
hot tanked
pressure tested
Pretty much reconditioned
The block
Its been to a machine shop befor I don't know much about it but it has been honed and all flat surfaces have been shaved smooth so I don't know if its over bore or what I need clearances checked and I also need the crank checked out and polished
I want the bottom end balanced also
If you know of a better/cheaper place for me to go and get this work done let me know I would appriciate it thanks

CW PENCE, they do awesome work. Ask for Jeff. 407 831 8197.
I know they do a mean sleeving job. I purchased the darton pro flanged sleeves direct from Darton for $235. They are doing the installation of the sleeves for $600. I have about 3-4 buddies who have had there motors sleeved before me. Jeff is like 26 and he has been working there since he was 14. Went from the shop do boy to the owner, when he and his partner bought it out.

is dwaunes/dwaynes still around...largo/qweerwater i think....gotta call uncle binh to see where it was.

 

I read that Dwans is closed.

 

Eiseley did a pretty good job for me a couple years ago, I think I'm going back to them since their price is pretty competitive.
