Default Good engine shop/mechanic in the Raleigh, NC or Richmond, va area



Motor sounded like it dropped a valve about an hour ago and I am in dire need of some help. Stock 502 MPI in my 2000 Sunsation. I knew it was just a matter of time ( I drive it like I stole it) but it had to happen right when my brother was coming in from Kansas City to visit for the week.

Appreciate it. I am going to pull the valve cover to see what I can see. Hopefully, I didn't do too much damage but you don't know until you get in and look.

Ohh well...I kept saying if I broke it I was going to have it rebuilt with more HP. Just wasn't ready for it to break in the middle of the season!

If you are up for the ride to PA We could have it turned around for you in about a week.

Assuming it needs a rebuild you can do it in a week in August!...that's worth the drive to PA if that's the case!!!
