I just talked to them about boring my block for my legacy, they said they would do it for 147.00 bore/ hone. has anyone had any experiences with these guys? they are located in Blaine. thanks
Does that include tanking it after they bore it? BTW you need the pistons in hand before you bore it.
yep I know I need pistons first, I was just seeing if they are a reputable place to bring my block. I will ask about hot tanking.
D&G Motors is a good place also. We have our rally car motor with them right now. Pretty competitive prices too
I just called D-G and they said they can bore/ hone and hot tank before and after for 175. the guy sounded like he knew what actually went on there unlike the guy at CHE. I think ill go with them thanks guys.
Dana's in Shak town was either 130 or 140. He did a fantastic job. There's only a hint of slap when it is really cold.
That's where my brother got his motor done. He had bad experience with them. They told him his motor would be done in 1 week. Took them 3 weeks. Honing, Boring out, sand blasting, and rebalancing. You should check with them if they are busy. I'm sure if they aren't they can keep their word. Good quality work though!
Price sounds high to me if that is per hole as some places quote, if that is for all four it does not sound bad at all. Try B & A Cylinderhead in Blaine (763) 427-7535 ask for Matt. He owns the place, I have known him since high school. Tell him Brady sent you. His prices are fair and he is a damn good machinist. Matt would also be one to ask about the workman ship of Cylinderhead Express, Matt will give you a straight answer as I haven't heard him bad mouth a shop that didn't do some thing to deserve it.
Wiseco 0.20 over and the price I was quoted was for all 4 holes with a hone and before and after hot tank.
