Not trying to bash coco, just speaking from experience... Ive heard some bad stories, and seen some of the not so good work, and actually had to fix a couple of the cars he jacked up.. i know nobody is perfect, everyone makes mistakes, and every engine builder has some that dont survive the way theyd hope for, but for something like this, i would definitely want somebody with an outstanding rep, and a proven track record... IE Neal, Collin, Steve, etc... Someone with some KSeries knowledge and experience...
I understand where your coming from but i have seen different.I think if he was a bad mechanic he wouldnt be working at a toyota dealer right now.Hell i built my own motor awhile back but i guess if your dumping alot of money in the bottem end you want someone more known locally.I'll tell you this his ek hatch will be a serious contender when it comes out...
