Hello. First off, I live in Las Vegas. My goal on this thread is to find a good machine shop. I know that insane speed is a pretty good shop here but idk if they're capable or good enough to do what I need.
My goal with my engine is to line hone the main bearings cause I just got arp main studs. I just got some Brian cower rods too and I wanna get whatever needs to be done to new rods, if they needs anything. And I am planning on buying total seal piston rings. I talked to the ceo or whatever of total seal and they told me that the cross hatch degrees on those when honing has to be between 38 to 42 degrees but the depth of the cross hatches can only be so far. And there's a lot of variables to that so the rings don't destroy themselves or the motor. Lastly I got arp head studs and want them to put on the studs and use a torque plate with hot fluid through the coolant passages to ensure best straightness of the cylinders when honing.
I want the machine shop to be really good cause I want to rebuild this motor only one time only. I'm willing to drive to California if there are better shops there that are 100% quality over quantity. I just don't know which shops to go to.

 

if you can drive to california then go to FSR motors . They work on a lot of cars owned by supraforum members.

 

Thank you gerrb. I just read this very very negative post on another forum about insane speed so idk how I feel about them now. I know 1 person situation is different but this guy went through a lot of hassle. It's the first post on this http://www.srtforums.com/forums/f42/.../612984?page=1 forum.
