With a little nudge from a fellow enthusiast and some really nice weather
(finally), I have managed to completely disassemble the engine of my
2000. I plan to ship my head out to one of the California experts,
however, my next step, is to take all the block's bits to a machine shop
. I've never used a machine shop before so I'm a bit ignorant of what goes
on. Any recommendations on how to find a good machine shop? I don't mind
driving the parts to anywhere in the southeast (I live in Tallahassee, FL)
if someone knows a great machine shop (I have a new car and really love to
drive the thing).
When I find a good shop, this is my list as to what I will ask them to do:
1) Magnaflux all the parts. I assume you can magnaflux just about anything.
2) Check all dimensions (cylinders, block, jackshaft, crankshaft, etc.) I
will provide them the dimensions (will have to dig them up)
3) Repair any problems with the dimensions (bore, hone, plane)
4) Balance crankshaft, pistons and rods, jackshaft
Anything else I should consider? Again, I'm a newb at this. Thanks for
any help.
