Machine shops in MA

Since the winter is still here i pulled my motor to install my k member. Was thinking of maybe stroking it before the summer. I know a few friends have used Reids in Whitman MA. He has an excellent reputation,just want to know of any others in my area. Thanks

Re: Machine shops in MA

Thanks for the response. I been kicking it around in my head to either stroke my motor or just buy a short block and use my parts. Everyone i talk to recommends reids. But like you said its done right. Easy on the mind... Thank you

For those on the western side of the state, I can endorse Nelson Belot. He's the "go to" guy around here, and he's outstanding. He's a wealth of knowledge and very happy to share it.
