Looking for a Machine Shop in GA, AL or North FL
Hey guys. There has to be a great, reputable machine shop in the Southeast that I can get my bottom end to. Does anyone have first-hand experience and can recommend a machine shop?
I'm looking to build a 2.4LR and will require a good shop to: Bore/Hone (with torque plate, which I have) to exact piston-to-wall clearance, Line bore mains (using ARP main studs), balance rotating assembly.
If they do top-notch cylinder head work: CBN decking (smooth finish for metal HG), Bronze guide install, cut for +1mm oversize valves.
If anyone has first-hand experience and can suggest a good machine shop I would appreciate it!

Looked them up. Top-notch work! Scared though...they have a 2.4L Long-rod block on their FB page for $5750. That's almost 6K for a block, crank and rods/pistons. Holy ****! I hope they are reasonable on the machine work.
Thanks for the recommendation!

Contacted them over FB but no response. I'm in Afghanistan so a phone call is a little hard to make. I get home in a month so I'll just give them a ring.
Thanks Smurfzilla....nice threads BTW. I read them even before I posted in here.

Smurf,
Two messages over FB and no response from them. Like I said, I can call when I get back stateside but it's kind of discouraging watching them post FB updates of what they are doing but won't reply to my message.
PRS,
I'm game. I need a rough estimate for the work I mentioned above. It'll be about 3.5 hours for me, but I'm willing to make the drive for reputable work.
