I have all my parts for plenum fix, timing chain & gears, water pump, etc. But no time & no place to do the work. Anybody out there have a recommendation for an engine shop to do the work? Looking for something within 20 miles of Seattle.

Thanks!

 

Sent you a PM.

 

Moderators -
Sorry for putting this in the wrong Thread. Thanks for moving it.

 

There is Action Machine who has good reviews. There are a few others but I can't comment on them. I live east of Cle Elum and was going to use Action but found a shop in Yakima that could do my work. Are you just doing a basic rebuild or are you going for a power build? I am building a 408 stroker engine. I have been on hold for a while as I build up my funds again.

If you aren't looking for a shop to rebuild your engine and just want a shop to install all your parts then here is a great shop I can recommend.
Auburn Car Repair & Off-Road

 

Thanks, Wildman. I'll be in Cle Elum doing some finish carpentry this weekend I'm only doing the plenum fix, new thermostat & water pump. I figured that with the top off and the radiator out, it makes sense to do the timing chain and gears as well. I ordered all the stuff from RockAuto, and have been hanging on to it for 3 years. About time to get 'er done, but work is so busy that I just want someone to do it for me. It would be fun to do, but it would cost me more $$$ to do it myself, if I lose the billable hours...

Seattle area would work better for me than Yakivegas. I do appreciate you chipping in, though. I'll look for your rig when I'm in your fair city!

 

I just edited my post and sent you a link to a shop that can do the work for you. The owner is a Jeeper and I know him. It might be a little more than 20 miles but is worth it.
