Re: Recommendations for a local Machine Shop

I might be interested in the 4 bolt!

I am going to use a standalone aftermarket computer on the car so it can run comfortably on the 8:5 compression.

The engine needs some freshing up. The motor right now is burning (or leaking) oil right now and I just want to do a simple rebuild just so I know it is fresh. I think I am even low in compression in a cylinder somewhere so new rings wouldn't hurt. I even have ARP head studs that I want to install. I haven't put my car on the dyno in fear of being laughed at because it will have black smoke at WOT.

I am not rich so I can't afford Forged internals and if I were to do so, it wouldn't be on this car right now.

I did find the vfaq machining data so I am set there. So back to the main point of the thread where would people recomend doing the 1g rod 2g combo
I will check out the place near the university. I am close to there anyway.
