Need good Machine shop in the Richmond area
For some work on a honda block...got a b20A5 I gotta rebuild for a guy and need a place I can trust to do quality work, had one place I THOUGHT I could, but tried em twice for some small stuff and they couldn't even get that shit right so I'm not gonna take any big stuff to em. Closer to the west side of Richmond the better.

Re: Need good Machine shop in the Richmond area
Had those tapped at ballos,That broke off like butter , they had the studs so it wasn't a case of wrong side threads, second job I'd had done there, first was a intake I had em weld up, told me it had been pressure checked, took it home, installed it, car smoked like a steam engine , turns out there was a hole right next to the one I had welded up, that If it HAD been pressure checked like I was TOLD would have been found very easily, as there was never even any pressure on the cooling system, never got to put the cap on the radiator before it started smoking. I really liked the guys and REALLY wanted to make em my go to place , but I can't afford to get burned a 3rd time especially on a customer project, not my own.
