machining work...

anyone know someone that does machining work? i need to get my block bored fer mi pistons.

i went to a place in Skokie, but i cant remember the name for the life of me. i need a machine shop soon as well. let me know who you go with and the quality of their work.

so far i'm goin to one6... and he (MARK) brings his stuff 3 places down the block that does the work. they assemble as well.

he told me $600.

$600 for the whole bottom end? thats kinda pricey from what i remember on my B18b that i built

I took my CA block to Precision Engine Rebuilders in Plainfield Illinois. They did a great job on my block assembly and cylinder head machining! Here is there number 1-815-254-2333. www.per-race-engine.com The guy you want to talk to is Randy Crowley, he's the owner. My stuff came out to be ~$900.00 but it does depend on what you have done to the engine.

^good to know

well for all machining i need done to the motor including valving for the cams and all that shit...

he gave me a rough estimate of about $1300 to pull, disassemble, machine, reassemble, install, make it run.

then some other cash here and there for other things.

that's 1300 for
272 cams
forged pistons
turbo
oil lines
clutch
gauges
dp
headgasket
valve springs and retainers
rods

if u like getting into car accidents... sure.
hahh

not a fun way to get money but it is easy.

and who said i was getting this done now? i wish i had the money to do it now... this is why i'm asking ppl for ideas on where else to go and if anyone knows it will be cheaper

go for quality work, not a price tag.

1K in work at one shop, doesn't equal the same quality/amount of work at another.

yea... and 2 shops can charge the same price or more and do a bad job...

which is why i'm asking where to go and who's got the best pricing.

right now i'm gettin my block done at this place called Land Air Associates, which is across from where the old one6 motorsports and garage kwai shops used to be. i heard a lot of good things from my friends and thought i'd give it a shot. i'll let you all know how that goes.

found that listing if anyone else is still looking. i'm going to do a bunch of calls tomorrow and see what prices a bunch of shops have. i've got some stuff to machine

found it. this is the one i went to before

General Engine And Machine, Inc
9030 Terminal Ave Skokie, IL 60076
(847) 966-7466

EDIT: looks like theyre no longer there. phone number is disconnected

only problem i had with Land-Air Associates was that the head was not cleaned after machining. so i have to clean all the metal shavings out

on a lighter side, they resurfaced my head for $60 and cleaned a bunch of parts for $45. pretty reasonable prices imo

+P.E.R.

sorry to bring back a thread from the dead but i'm currently looking for a machine shop also. Something local that does stuff for a decent price. Hone/resurface/3 angle valve job/cleaning. This is for my z32. I'm looking at an affordable place...this project is making me broke. don't need it to be assembly everything is already apart just need to clean it and hone/clean. thanks
