Looking for a Machine Shop
I started a thread in the Arizona chapter, but I wanted to post a link here to widen the audience in case some Arizona owners don't peruse some of the other sections of the forum. Thank you.

Nothing crazy, I am going to use a TMeyer rotating assembly. I am just looking for the usual cleaning/machining. I was just seeing if anyone had a specific shop that they could recommend since it seems every engine family has its own little quirks. If I don't hear anything I will just end up taking it to the machine shop I used for my last engine.

torque plate the block
when doing the final hone on cylinders, torque plate helps. some movement at top of block when bolts are torqued to spec. Close to .002 movement common at top of block from torqued to relaxed/not torqued.
