Which is the best machine shop around shakopee? I am looking for a good price to go get my head and block machined out. You guys know of anywere good?? let me know thanks.

Forget looking in your suburb, go to a recommended place in the cities. I like Motors by Gosh in Crystal.

well i had talked to a guy in shakopee, he said you would port my block out for 28 dollers a cylinder. Is this a good price? I also want to get it heat tanked, should i do this? I was told that i should have the Machine Shop take out my balence shaft to, should i do this also? This is my first rebuild so all the help i could get would be great thanks all.

How about go to a place with DSM experience recomended by senior DSMStyle members? Nothing that comes out of Shakopee is good.

Talk to LSE Performance and DB Performance, those two shops will set you in the right direction.

The Napa machine shop on 13 in Shakopee used to do all Brents/Osofasts work.

Quicker to find out yourself than to ask....it may take 10 seconds of effort though.

He's right.^^^ But its a few miles west of 35W on 13. On the south side, and in front of pro-kart(I think thats the name).

That's far too much effort.

lol Brent Rau didn't have his machine work done there. People think that BS cuz they have a picture of his car from like 5 years ago. I forget why, but that wasn't it. I live 4 blocks from there. That napa is right on the burnsville / savage border, not shakopee.

Wagamon ( spelling prolly wrong) brothers in minneapolis or whatever. QPR always used that shop and they are familiar with DSM motors. They did our motor too, and it still runs top notch.

I asked about the picture, they told me they did his head work. Besides that I'm sure Mo knows Brent well enough to know where he got his engine work done.

Yes, he did, he took stuff to some Napa machine shop down there. I had Brent take one of my heads to his guy at Napa to get it checked out and fixed. I had the head done at Wagamons and the valves weren't sealing. Brent's guy at Napa redid the valve job and also fixed some valve guides that Wagamons installed at the wrong height.

Haha, thats a good one!

Why not just take it somewhere well known? ask the seniors they would know. Ask LSE or DB performance.

I can't believe this simple question comes up every three months and the same answers appear.

The local speed shops don't have time to answer calls on where to bring your work elsewhere, they have bills to pay. If you're not a paying customer, don't bother them.

The answer has been laid out more than clearly in this and every other thread pertaining to this. Or you can just go to your local Pep Boys, save a buck or two, than come cry to the board when your pistons weld themselves to the block.

thanks i will talk to them napa guys tommorow

Pimpin Dsmstyle · 04-20-2006

K well the guys that work there now? They haven't done the work. One machinist was fired because he went to jail and the other guy was the one that told me some different reason as to why they had the picture up. I guess I appologize for "bad information" however i consider direct information from them pretty accurate.

Take it to napa if you want. They couldn't even clean a head properly ( yes i speak from experience) but take it there for machine work!!! good idea.

I don't think I've heard one bad thing about wags, and anything that did come up was obviously fixed otherwise we would hear many bad things about them. Unless LSE has them now, they also have all the special doo hickies mike had made for 4g63 motors.

Matt D. · 04-20-2006

If you want to hear bad stories about Wagamon's ask anyone who has had work done by them outside of QPR.
