Engine out -- Recommendation for Boston Area Machine Shop?
« on: Sunday,June 23, 2013, 01:31:37 PM »
The engine is out. The head is off. Not bad for a noob.

Any recommendations for a machine shop in the Boston area?

Rob,

if you don't get your answer here, join Elan.net.  There are some very knowledgeable folk that live in your "general area" and I am sure they can give you a heads up.  If your block happens to be toast then just buy a new one.  They are reasonable.
It's amazing how fast the engine can be broken down and readied for the builder/machine shop.
