Recommendations for a GN motor builder in the PA/NJ/DE/MD area

[quickturbo]

I was wondering if anyone knows of a good machine shop in the PA/NJ/MD/DE area. I live in southeast PA and want to get my 87 GN motor rebuilt. I know of some local machine shops but I don't think they have much history with the Buick GN motors.
Thanks
Alan

York PA Pennsylvania Truck Centers, INC Mack Volvo Mitsubishi Isuzu GMC authorized machine shop, 717.792.2636 ask for Rick Riddle machine shop manager. I told him about my project and he was eager to buy a torque plate and set-up my motor. Line honed the crank bearings, set up the RJC Girdle, bored/honed out the cylinders, set the ring gap, converted the connecting rods to floaters, balanced the rotating assembly, checked the thrust, etc. Anyway it's been a few years now and all is well with the motor.

Plenty of great engine builders right here. Nick Micale, DLS, RPE, Chris Hogelend, Weber.... These people are top shelf, first class engine builders with years,years and years of experience. Whether it's a mild build,or an all out track car, or something in between. You couldn't go anywhere in the world and get a better product. I live in Philadelphia, PA and I had Nick Micale build my motor. Do some research first.

Cottons isn't a machine shop, they will assemble an engine for you but they don't have the ability to do the machining. Maybe that's why he said he didn't have the time for you.

Plus you have to get to know the TEDDY BEAR [Jack], you might have caught him on a day he was coming out of hibernation.

That's Nick Micale and Chris Hogeland! You have to get rid of that auto correct..... It's all good, though.

My company is located in Long Island, NY, a little further than the areas you are asking about. If you cannot find anyone close, give me a call.

I have done a lot of business with Jack Cotton over the years and found him to be VERY friendly and helpful! Yes, he is busy but he WILL find time for you. I suggest you call him mid morning for best results. Tell him I referred you. Conrad
