Took the 2.0 to North east Machine shop last week.
their link Here's the news: Check align bore: Good Turn and polish crank: One over Magna flux (or whatever it's called) to test for cracks: Good Install threaded galley plugs: No problem Soak and clean case: Nice and shiney! Measure con rods: two are good, two are bad. Find and balance two new rods. Can you recommend a replacement? Find bearings "one over". $425.00 for the work and the rods. Sound reasonable? |

No email.. If it was sent through the store rebecca will take care of it.. I'm outta the store now. I got it all set up, running smoothly and ASAP I was back where I belong and only answering technical questions through the store.. Becky will take care of you swiftly and accurately, she is awesome!
I don't do anything local... Last engine I built for a local customer was 4 years ago! I receive cases and machine work from all over the world from people that want the job done right- DHL just dropped off a case today from Costa Rica... I have had them shipped to me from as far away as Australia! Think shipping is expensive?? Let one goof bite you in the ass and you'll make up a new definition for word expensive.... The shop may be just fine,and I hope they are but to me ALL non specific shops are "Guilty until proven innocent"... Check everything 3 times.. |
