Machine shop showdown!
My favorite machinist (RIP John Edwards @ Costa Mesa R&D) passed away over a year ago. I'm in need of a good machinist for basics for the next motor I'm starting to build up. Any opinions on RIMCO vs EMW for the basics? * Case deck, line bore, and clearance for stroker * Basic connecting rod stuff * Cylinder inspection and honing The normal stuff... Thanks. -Aaron |

I'm mainly considering 78mm-80mm for the Chevy (Buick) rod bearings that appear to be superior to anything in the VW ecosystem. I have 2 cases (both 1.7) to choose from.
I have a set of JE's with 22mm wrist pins, awesome heads for Len (that were Finch heads), and just need to decide on a cam and get moving. Still thinking an 86B, but may consider something bigger. Hoping to spin to 7500RPM to avoid the 2-3 shift as much as possible. |
