Machine shop recommendations in Washington...

Post by logan9691 »

Don't know where to post this, but I'm looking for some machine shop recommendation in Washington, preferable NW area.


Thanks in advance...

I've used Reed Machine in Bham for simple stuff. They are quick and have done fine work.

Action Machine near Seattle has done some quality work (engine internals), but seem to be more expensive.

Do what you can by yourself before bringing your parts in, that can save some labor costs.

I'm not sure if you'd want to take the heads apart beforehand or not. If the shop isn't really familiar with Subaru heads you should probably bring them in assembled, rather than a box of loose parts. That way they could rebuild them more easily since that seems to be what you're looking for.

I would make some calls and talk to various shops, find out who you like.

I didn't move this, I'm not a mod. :?

Custom Import Heads rebuilds heads, Delta Camshaft grinds cams. Same company, though. You'd probably get faster results if you called.
93 legacy wagon L, 22T swapped (TW imitator) now with five forward speeds. (Gone, but never forgotten)
