Hey Guys,
Some of you may have seen the posts I've made in the project journal and engine sections. Long story short, the current recommendation is for me to rebuild my engine. Late breaking news is that the head is likely cracked. I do have a 2nd engine with the same 848 head. I don't know if that one is salvageable or not, but I'll assume that it is.
My question is for machine shop recommendations. Local to Fredericksburg is preferred, but not essential. I'd rather drive a ways to get quality work at a good price. As many of you know, my "build" has been on a shoestring budget. That hasn't changed. I simply don't have much money to put towards this. If I'm [censored] up a rope, just tell me. So, recommendations on shops that you know and have used, plus questions that I should ask any prospective shop and the correct answers and any red flags that indicate that I should avoid that shop. Also, what is a reasonable budget for this kind of work? Please.
Thanks!
