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 |

RIMCO; used them once and wasn't impressed with them. They were moving to their new location and as a result lost a long time employee. My work wasn't done on time and was a 6 weeks later than told. Then again they didn't mention they were moving when they took my order. The owner was cavalier at best. When I did receive my engine pieces back some were missing which required another trip after they were located. The BIG complaint comes from sloppy work. I posted pic's here 7 yr's ago of how it was received. Lots of machining burrs, coils and shavings. No effort had been made to clean the parts after machining. Metal shavings throughout the case 1/2's. When I complained I was treated as if I were lucky to have had them do the work. Remember that cavalier attitude! Later when CC'ing the heads I found the alcohol leaking around the valves so I ended up lapping the valves myself. Fool me once shame on you.......................................
