    PDX/Vanc Machine Shop Recommendations

    Looking for machine shop recommendations to magnaflux and polish a crank, block boring, balancing, etc. A search on here brought up Don's on Stark as a recommended shop for flywheels, anyone have experience with them doing engine work? Anyone have experience with Portland Engine Rebuilders? Other possible recommendations?

    Thanks

    I sent my 24v head to Hutchins performance. Ask for Dan, he was recommended to me by a master tech and the head was a mirror when I got it back

    5740 SW 56th Ave Portland, OR 97221

      No to Portland engine rebuilders (unless you feel like waiting 8 months for your stuff). Yes to Hutchins performance.

        Interesting, i called PER about the crank work and they quoted me 2 days. Do you have firsthand experience with them?

        2 for Hutchkins so they're on the short list; thanks guys.

          A friend had them do just a stock M20 build a few years back. It took 6+ months. Their turn around time sucked but the quality of the work seemed good, fwiw.

            stumbling through the PNW forum for kicks...

            M&B Cylinder Heads? I had good results. Check out the HPF secrets youtube videos, lured me right in.

              Thanks butters; I just talked with Brian (I think it was) this morning. He mentioned they had built several s52/54 engines. Nice to have a shop with familiarity to the specific parts I'm dealing with. I'll have to check out the vids, thx again.
