Machine shop In Lancashire Recomendations Please

Hi guys,

Im in need of some recomendations for a machine shop in lancashire that can bore, deck, install cam bearings and clean my block.
Ive run local shop and they cant install cam bearings or clean so not happy.

I rememer talking to Smax from preston but I think he moved on to the USA, so anywhere in preston would be fine, so fire away please :thumb:

http://www.huddartengines.co.uk/engine.htm I have no eperience of the quality of their work but they are over your way. I know a few in Yorkshire but not so many your way. The only person I would trust with my brass is Ken Coleman at EDA (Castleford), having spent a few afternoons watching him machine, build and dyno he seems to be at the top of his game.

Good luck.

Re: Machine shop In Lancashire Recomendations Please

if you try Engine Tecniks in Westhoughton they should help (if i remember his name's Rob), he sorted out a 3.9 Rover block that i had and for a reasonable price, it came back looking new.

Well worth a look at. i think that you'll find them on Yell.com.

Good Luck.

Hi,

Try the headshop in Warrington, about 5 mins of the M6.

They have just done some work for me on an inlet manifold (skim).
