seabiscuit Posted July 13, 2011 Report Posted July 13, 2011 rofl i still havent heard or rang the machinist yet :lol:. ill ring him tomorrow. gonna put new bearings right thru it inc a new twin row timing chain. Please do lol. That's a sad story that they haven't called you yet. Must be great for their business if they run it like that. So you're planning to put it into a car of yours obviously. You wouldn't put this much work into it otherwise! Have you bought your gasket kit? I bought one off eBay when I was about to buy a 5K off a friend of mine, but he fell through with the sale and sold it with his car. I got the kit pretty cheap, so would pass it on for cheap mate. Send me a PM if you're interested. Quote
Evan G Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Posted July 13, 2011 I bought 2kits for fiddy bucks, depends how much its gonna cost me but slo-030 wants it for boost application Quote
philbey Posted July 13, 2011 Report Posted July 13, 2011 That's a sad story that they haven't called you yet. Must be great for their business if they run it like that. Dude, can you find me an engine builder that DOESN'T run their business like this? Quote
Evan G Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Posted July 13, 2011 True that philbey, you gotta ride there back results. Anyways its all cleaned/machined up ready for new items. His gonna quote me so far in labour and parts Quote
