Re: Machine shops?
I went with Davis Machine Shop - $75 to turn over a couple pistons, adjust some rod bearings and a wrist pin. Not bad compared to the $350 I was quoted at Ballos. I'll let you guys know how this thing runs once it's in.

Re: Machine shops?
davis machine did alot of work for me on previous engines. good guy... but slow turnaround time. it's a father/son team and they apparently do alot of work for repair shops in that area.
rebco machine did the machining on my block and my cylinder head when i needed it welded. good people. quick service. top quality work

Re: Machine shops?
my shop has done alot of business with rebco in the past, only thing i have bad to say about him is you have to be EXTREMELY specific on what you want/expect from rick... i have had heads come back without valve seals and valves before... he rectified the situation the same day though
