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.

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.
