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 |

OK, way back when Capt N Krusty recommended a shop near LAX, their name is Engine Machine Service EMS, I can say they know there stuff.
Bruce, if I remember correctly, is the VW type IV guy. I saw some really nice engines come out of there. EMS 8416 Osage Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90045 310 641 7019 Highly recommended.  |

I called EMS today and they not only moved from this address, but they are retiring from biz. They did not have a suggestion as who to call to do this kind of work. Looking for more suggestions on machine shop for 2270 RAT Eng in my area. Bob B and Mark Sonners (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) |
