I am in need of a machine shop to line bore my case.
I don't think it is off by much but would rather make sure prior to tearing it down. I am in the Bradenton Area (winter home) and seem to be several VW shops in the vicinity. But would prefer someone who has knowledge of using a reputable shop. Curious of what to expect on price as well. Thanks in Advance Jerry |

The secret to getting quality machine work is to not be hooked into the idea of finding a local shop.

QUOTE(Superhawk996 @ Nov 5 2025, 09:07 AM)  The secret to getting quality machine work is to not be hooked into the idea of finding a local shop. 100% agree Wrap the case in a harbor freight blanket. Grab a black and yellow plastic bin from a box store. Line it with a couple layers of cardboard. Drop in the blanket wrapped case and zip tie it shut. Now you can ship it anywhere. |
