need machine work done for a 4 cyl race motor
i'm building a 4g63 and i need it to be bored .20 over using my torque plate, performance honed, balance rotating assembly, and maybe some small stuff. is there a good machine shop on the peninsula that i wouldnt have to worry about messing up my engine or charging an arm and a leg? i know someone is going to say abacus but i kind of was turned off to them after hearing all the horror stories about the dsm motors they have worked on. glenn smith from dominion isnt accepting any work right now either.

-resurfaced the head
-spun the crank once to spec
-and assembling the bottom end

im not sure if i want to use apples for this motor, they worked on my 2.4 block and i wasnt that impressed with the hone job, it looked like a rush job. chad has done alot of work for my shop though, hes a cool dude. i would go to dunkums but they will have my engine for a month before they work on it.

if you want your shit done fast, then deffinately dont go to dunkums, i personally would recommend apples over any shop around here, i have always taken everything i've need there.

+1 for apples they can handle pretty much everything it took a few weeks to get my motor done... and half way through he had to wait on me cause i had the wrong retainers
