Re: any shops in minnesota?
 

Minnesota has no performance and/or machine shops so don't bother scrolling down the main forums index page or opening the yellow pages.

Re: any shops in minnesota?

Re: any shops in minnesota?

Re: any shops in minnesota?
 

so you can do it?

Re: any shops in minnesota?
 

How about you scroll down the index page a bit and look at all the different shops that sponsor this board? They list hours, location, services, pricing, most things you'll need. Sorry to be an ass, buts its laid out right in front of you.

Re: any shops in minnesota?
 

oops, that was dumb of me....

Re: any shops in minnesota?
 

Glad you can admit your mistake. With that said, what are your plans?

Re: any shops in minnesota?
 

Yes.

The competition has arrived....who will win!?

Re: any shops in minnesota?
 

I don't think it's competition, all these shops seems to have some full plates, I love it when they come out and and say they can help though. By offering service or advice, we got the best right here on this site. WooT!

Re: any shops in minnesota?
 

This guy is unbelieveable. I sure hope you(eclipse_spyder) didn't take me seriously when I said to get a 2.4 block out of a John Deere tractor. Wow....

Re: any shops in minnesota?
 

Call Gosh! He's the man!!

Re: any shops in minnesota?
 

i 2nd this!

Re: any shops in minnesota?
 

Out of business.

Re: any shops in minnesota?
 

not at all. moved his shop to forest lake.

Re: any shops in minnesota?
 

John Gosh? He manages the Carquest in Ramsey, I think a guy from NAPA "bought" his shop, but as far as I've heard John is up in Ramsey now.

Re: any shops in minnesota?
 

yes exactly. when i had my machine work done by him thats where he was, at that carquest. He said he was working there inbetween closing up his old shop and opening up the new one in forest lake.

even so, he lets the carquest use his torque plates for the 4g63s and whatnot.

Re: any shops in minnesota?
 

you actually think i believed you? i was just wondering where i can get my 4g63 block bored out and get a head done.

Re: any shops in minnesota?
 

Like Allan said I think we both have a lot on our plates right now, threads like this are simply trying to improve the community as a whole and help people out...

Re: any shops in minnesota?
 

Cool.
Forest Lake is a bit of a hike for me now. I use to use him for all my headwork but now have found other sources.

Re: any shops in minnesota?
 

my local machine shop quoted me $80, pretty decent price, dont pay too much over $100....

Re: any shops in minnesota?
 

$100 for what?

Re: any shops in minnesota?
 

My bad, I ment to get the block bored 20 over. Porting and polishing I have no input on.

Re: any shops in minnesota?
 

where did you get your block bored?

Re: any shops in minnesota?
 

Yeah thats typical price for bore and hone w/o torque plate. Its getting into the balancing, line honing, squaring the block, etc that gets spendy.

Re: any shops in minnesota?
 

I 3rd John Gosh. He did awesome work on my cylinder head, and lots of my friends have gotten head work done by him on many different platforms (7mgte, sr20, 4g63)

Re: any shops in minnesota?
 

eclipse_spyder - at a machine shop here in saint cloud, PM me for the hookup, I might be able to get it a little cheaper.

niterydr - knowing your Sh*t FTW!!! I am sure you do quality work.

On my budget rebuild priceout is looking like this: $80 bore, $200 oil+water pumps, $315 for rebuild kit through AutoValue *shudder* (I hope I dont get crankwalk on my 1990 block, dont laugh, with my luck....)

$600 budget rebuild is not that bad. (so long as it lasts)
