You would be better off finding someone to assemble AND tune it. Someone assembling an engine generally will not offer and warranty if tuned elsewhere.

Or assemble it yourself and then get it tuned.

thanks do you have any one you could recommend?

[tazzy]

any one? surely some one has a workshop they have to say something really good about and had good expierences with?

Which bearings have you bought?

Generally the assembler would choose appropriate bearings based on the the state of the crank and block.

Obviously rings can be gapped to suit if you already have those.

Now this may not be an option for you, but If it was me I would seriously consider shipping the parts to RIPS to get them balanced and everything bolted together.

It will be a longer wait, but at least you know it is done right.

hey Jazzadub, ive got ACL race series bearings main and conrod bearings, the clearences have been checked by the machine shop and i brought the bearings to suit, je pistons and rings, everything has been purchased after all the checks were done, the machine shop had 2 assemblers but one is backed up for 7+ weeks and also said at times he has to put his over seas customers work first but he will try help me out. other isnt picking his cell phone up, so im just seeing if there is any one that they highly recomend, ive only heard the best of things about rips and he is definetly an option, everything has already been sent for balancing... thanks for your imput ill shoot rips an email and see what he has to say... the engine cost me 17k all up and i searched boost and some other forums and every one has something bad to say but not really anything nice to say so its made me really paranoid haha

[Jazzadub]

I would have thought the engine builder would prefer to do the balancing themselves - I'm sure Rob would if you sent everything to him.

What do you mean by everyone has had something bad to say - about what?

[tazzy]

about work shops in generall,

What about tuned performance, former Godzilla motorsport mechanic and seems to be getting a good rap so far, if Dan from erd's still building engines on the side I'm sure someone can put you in contact with him
