Does it matter to you if you were having your engine[s] rebuilt, and the shop you brought them to doesnt have a machine shop?Even if you were buying new,does that sway your decision if an engine builder doesnt have much equipment?

zul doesnt have one........and i would send my stuff to him all day long

I like keeping everything in house.
Nice to know 1 person is responisble for everything.

JC, you have one right?

doesn't matter as long as i trust the builder and he trusts his machine shop...

trust someone you don't know? or trusting a good reputation?? huh ??

i personally wouldn't go somewhere where i didn't know them or take the time to know them..... i didn't see JC's post that said you didn't know the builder, just if they had a machine shop or not....

I like for one shop to be responsible for everything. If you know that one person is a perfectionist then the machine work, balancing, assembly etc will all be at the same standard. You dont have to worry about trusting someone your guy trusts. Hope that makes since.

I do 95% of all machinework in house.

Well JC...after you have had a few motors built...and then you go for some big power..cubes..and start pushing all the limits and you are needing all the latest info..you really do need to have a in house machine shop...there are too many problems..questions and a general minor lack of knowledge when pushing the limits with big horse power.

and sub the other 5% to me biotch
