Parts run

I'm driving my block up to Warrior in Oshawa early next week.... saving alot of money. If anyone in the London area has machining they need done, let me know A SAP.

Here's some pricing:

Their prices are great!! What's the quality of work like? Are you satisfied with the final product?

BTW, how far away from London is Oshawa? I think London is about an hour away from me, right?

Are these guys better than Atchison and BH&P?

I thought anyone from London would use those guys?

I usually try to support Atchison... Their work is excellent, but their prices aren't always on par... and I've waited over a month before for them to do a blocks for me. I need this ASAP... and cheap. Warrior says if I drop it off early, they'll have it to me the same day.

NTChrist -> I believe St. Catherines is pretty far from here... I think you are actually closer to them than I am.

Their enigine combo and machining prices are awesome. I don't even think we get deals like that around here.

Their head prices are horrible mind you, I guess there has to be a trade off somehow.

Their head prices are still WAAAAAY cheaper than what Rod at Hardcore Hotrods quoted me.
I thought his prices were a little high, but everybody I talked to said that they were reasonable.

I dunno guys... looks like they dont have any of the crank machining hardware. Not that it is needed but it does point out which machine shops have been around the block and hence know what they are doing. 2 c

I am very very impressed with the work done by Warrior. They can do cranks... and as far as being around the block, they've only been at it for 5 years, but I can assure you, they know what they're doing. Check some of the cars on their site...

He charged me $240 to do:

.030 bore
hone
frost plugs
cam bearings
magnaflux
jet wash

He waived the tax... and he did the whole job in 4 hours while I waited. He also drilled and tapped the plugs in the back and clearanced for my double roller and smoothed out the oil gallery for no extra charge. The work is flawless...

I'm going back next weekend to get him to hang my rods ($20) if anyone in my area needs work done.
