I had a head rebuilt and one of the valves was not seated correctly and had payed a shop to install the head and was out my money when we had to take it back apart. Also they charged me full price and gave me the run around when I came back a week ago. ANyways they're prices aren't the cheap either, they charged me $175 to take out a screw that broke off in the head for the fuel rail and never got it out! They said cause there was an e-z out bit stuck in there. After that last time I stopped going to them. I went to a small machine shop I was recommended to and the owner did the job in a few hours for only $75, perfect job! Anyways maybe now they're better but i'm just really not trying to take chances you know. Also as I said there prices are just out there to take another chance with them and some thing accidently happen and i'm out my money again. Iwould rather go to a small machine shop I know about again where the prices are very reasonable and the jobs seem great, I just want a reputable shop you know. Also ALPHA I here alot good things about you so I believe you when you say engine lab, but 2 bad experiences = trying to look for some where else to go. Anyways anting on moly coating and any answers on my crank questions?
It is not taking offense. It is wanting to know exactly what happened. You know how many people say things on here with no explanation? It makes no sense to me. Some of us do not care for "i dont like xyz" "xyz sucks" "dont go to xyz". We actually like to hear the story or reasons behind it. In this industry there are very few people I only take their word for. I was just curious because I have been going to Engine Lab of Tampa off/on since I was probably 18 now 24. I'm definately not saying they are perfect. I know I am not
Can you feel the light scratches with your fingernails? Real hard to say without seeing the crank. I would recommend Swain Tech or Calico. They've been around forever. Expect to pay $130.00 - $175.00 for a crank
