Hi Guys

The machine shop I have used for a number of years has closed there

doors, so I am looking for a new place to get my engine work done

first job on the rank will be a re=bore of a 4.6 and fitting of top hat liners

so the question is can anyone recommend a engine machine shop within a

couple of hours of campbelltown

Davis Performance Landys. Annangrove.

The only other fella that I can think of is just out of Orange - he is apparently an excellent race engine builder, though I'm sure there are more local people than that who will do the trick.

I know a retired bloke in Canberra but it's a fair way to go.

For the top hat liners, give Balmain Engineering a call. You might be pleasantly surprised.

Apparently Balmain are much cheaper than Davis.

$2200 supply and fit (incl GST). $800 liners, $1400 labour.

Hi Ron....I would have fallen over if I had'nt been siting down....

I guess that you did'nt just give them the bare block ?? and they rebuilt it

as well ??

That was the bare block. Well, not quite. It was a short engine - crank, pistons and rods were the only things still in the engine.

The $2200 doesn't include building the engine back up.
