L N Engineering used to provide machining services for Type IV decks, not sure if they still do or if they aligh bore cases.


OK, I called LN Engineering. The guy said they can't do align-bores... at least not yet. That service is coming soon, he said. I asked for a rough cost estimate to clean, inspect, and deck my case. Here's the estimate (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
  1. Approximately $800 for cleaning services (4 hours)
  2. $400 for the decking ($300 more if you want case savers/timeserts +cost of head stud kit)
  3. $200-$400 for the inspection services
Yeeeeeah..... I'll keep looking at other options (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

I have this link saved for future reference.
I think I got it from a thread on here some time ago. Where else would it come from?
No affiliation.

Since they’re in TX it couldn’t hurt to check them out.

Let us know what you find out.

Cheers,

Yes, I’m very familiar. It might have been another thread on my nearly blown-up 2.3L in my other 914. They don’t do align bores anymore [ex-employee theft, I believe], however they are very good at anything else with VW engines. In fact, my 2.3L has been in their shop for a long time waiting to be worked on. The shop has had some issues with their workload, staff, and other problems. I talked to the owner last week. He’s implemented a new system to help clear the backlog. My engine is currently being worked on and I should be picking it up in a few days. So, I think it’ll be several months before they take on any new engines. Just my opinion.

How about contacting the bus people? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
GoWesty, maybe they would recommend a place.
Maybe check the Samba, there might some talks about this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

These are getting to be old machines now unfortunately. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
