talked to a machinist shop today... told them some of the issues I was having... what they expected from me and what my goals were for the engine. My biggest concern is if they are familiar with buick engines. thier website Pacific Engine and Machine | WELCOME didnt have promising pictures of an engine that I could identify. They quoted me between 2500 and 2900 for a rebuild and for a valve job. It could vary depending on what the inside of the engine looks like on the inside. Ive seen good reviews online, but anyone with a computer and an email can place a review. They are the only local machine shop in the area with good reviews (there are probably more, but the further north you go, the more expinsive *hit gets).
Does 2500 sound like a reasonable rate?
what should I ask for them to do?
What are your opinons?
what should the block be honed to? and what sized pistons should I use?
anything I should look for? parts, what I should have the shop do? what I should do myself? wanted to consult you before yanking the powerplant out. (BTW I was thinking of a serpentine setup?) Ive talked to Matt, and hes been helping me out alot.
It be a little while before I could take the engine In, but its definetley doable within the next 5 months (getting my priorities straight first school, work, and moving into my own place)
any thoughts would be great.:smile:
BTW matt if your reading this, i found a parts MC at the junkyard. Gonna go pull some parts tommorow If theyre open
