Hi All Done some measuring up, and I need to get a block decked to get the compression ratio up a bit. Looking for a small, reliable machine shop who will do the machining and preferably put the block through a wash afterwards. Any recommendations?
Only people I know of that do that are a bit further away in Southall/Hayes. Ring Engineering, haven't used them myself but have been recommended to me
You have: - Ring Engineering on the Springfield Road Industrial estate (good for crank re-grinds) - Serdi in Uxbridge (Good for head/block stuff) Gurds
You could try these guys- HT Howards 15 Business Village, Wexham Road, Slough, Berkshire SL2 5HF Tel: 01753 525549 Friendly, reliable and reasonable price.. Not the most glamorous place on earth but i've been using them for 15 or so years and never had any problems
Dropped the block into Serdi's on Sat morning. Nice little shop, and looks stacked out with work too. He did ask me if I was really sure I wanted 0.75mm off the top of the block
wow how knew we have so much tallent in/around uxbridge. While we are at it.. anyone know where I can get some BBS RZs sand blasted for less than 50? Amit
There's a wheel refurb place that I spotted near West Drayton, and been meaning to pop in and have a chat about some wheels, I'll ask how much it'd be for just blasting but I suspect 50 is a bit cheap tbh.
Blasting one-piece wheels shouldn't be that expensive, mine only cost me 5 a wheel at wicked wheels (probably wouldn't use them for anything else but blasting though)
