Re: I NEED A RECO FOR A GOOD ENG SHOP IN PHOENIX

They balanced my crankshaft a while ago. Recently I took a piar of used heads to them to look over before I install them and they fixed them up pretty good. They aren't the least expensive shop around but I think they do a good job and would use them agian.

Re: I NEED A RECO FOR A GOOD ENG SHOP IN PHOENIX

I've heard good things about Standard Machine but haven't used them myself. I can tell you to NOT go to Basko. Has personally seen too many fubar'd engines come out of there with rookie mistakes. Whichever shop does the work, make sure you check it upon assembly with at least plastigauge if not micrometers and bore gauges.

Re: I NEED A RECO FOR A GOOD ENG SHOP IN PHOENIX

I TAKE EM MY RAW HEADS AND BLOCK GET EM MAGNA FLUXED AND MIC'D / MACHINED / ALIGN HONED ETC... AND THEN ASSEMBLE THEM MYSELF. ITS THE ONLY WAY TO INSURE MY STUFF IS PUT 2GETHER RITE AND I GET MY ACTUAL PARTS BAK. I ENGRAVE THEM ALL WITH MY MARK.

+1 for standard. I had them rebuild my AFR's, they aren't the fastest, but do great work for a reasonable price!
