Guest tbutera2112 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 rob built my engine, great price, great turn around time, and he was very careful and precise and made sure everything was perfect...if something didnt come out exactly how he liked it, he would do it again until it was 100%, at no extra cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 You have a ford. So I would say take it to Rob, they are his forte. Or as said above ppc I hear is doing work with the mod motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Removed Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 im pretty sure its not running at all. :bangbang: im oretty sure your trans is fucked...and? ugh r u serious? yeah hard to finish a build when the owner doesnt have the needed parts/money rob sucks you has no room to talk sir...no room at all. look, there are a ton of engine builders out and around here. alot of machine shops build stuff. alot of shops send out their engine work.which i dont blame them, its time consuming, and you have to take the extra steps to make sure things are right. i build stuff by hand, checking tolerances down to the .001. and do lots of research on certain set ups before they ever go together.(esp turbo motors) thats one reason, i wont talk details till the owner has set down and decided which way they are going.weather it be turbo, super charged or sprayed. just like one mod motor im doing now..mahle says put tolerance's at one spec, but lots of people have found, their specs to be way to tight. so the block came back apart to have the clearnace opened up, so the pistons dont swell and drag the bore all over again.

boosted98gst Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Mike rush built my motor M&m in Delaware, He has been in many magazines for his machine and builds. He stands by his work ect, Just another place to look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmuckingham Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I have had good luck with Mike and Matt at Phillips racing engines. My only word of advice is you wont get it back quickly but with something like an engine build of any kind I wouldnt rush the person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 with something like an engine build of any kind I wouldnt rush the person plus 1 on that.... rushing to get something done is one good way to fuck shit up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
