Shop for boring?

I need a good shop that can overbore a block .25mm , also, one that can knife edge and balance a crank would be nice to.

I don't know about them, I heared some things about them, I'd need alittle more input about how good they are. and I'm not doing anything with my carp-ass 1-6 block. 1-8's at 12.1:1 compression own!

The only thing I have had done by Engine Lab is an acid dip. I can't say if they are good or not. I had all of my block work (resleeving, decking, o-ring, hone, bore, line bore, etc.) done by Golden Eagle Mfg in California.

Just makes sure the bearing journals match up with the bore. An acid dip is to make your block all bling bling, heh j/k.
