Default Piston Install

Anyone know where I can get a piston install done on a honda block and approximately how much it would run. The block is still in the car?

C&M machine on RT 1, south of alexandria. They do great work, and are very reasonably priced.

Since you're in the nova area, Inline Pro is the shop I would recommend. CDE is another good shop.

CDE and inline are just going to take it to a machine shop for you, and charge you for their time. Fuck that.

C&M is loacated about 5 miles south of the beltway on RT 1. Its a small "Shack" on the left. It looks shitty, and the guys are mad old, but they do GREAT! work, have GREAT prices, and are really really nice and honest guys, thay also have been in the buisness for about 50 years. Youll want to talk to larry, hes the owner, he looks kind of like milton from office space. Also, unlike other machine shops, they actually get the work done. The longest i have waited for anyhting there is 3 weeks, and that was for a fully assembled race motor. They are in the phone book, if i can find their number ill post it later. Definatly give them a call, dont watse your time with honda shops that will rape you for something that you can do yourself.
