| the added expense partly comes from the special tool used to hold the cylinder to keep it round. if bored with out it, the hole will become egg shaped. be sure to have them show you the "jig" you could end up with an egg shaped bore!!! |

| We have a machine shop locally that does mostly car engine blocks but one of the owners is a biker and they also do motorcycle cylinders. They don't depend on cycle work to keep the shop open so they are significantly cheaper. It may be worth the effort to check your local machine shops, just be sure (like Chuck said) to make sure they know what they are doing. At the shop here, one look at the owner's bike pretty much told me all I needed to know. BTW I was in there getting a small block Chevy done but i would trust them with my bike cylinders. Al | |

When I first read the topic, I thought you were buzy watching soap operas... I was gonna say cut it out... But now that I see you're talking machining, I get it... Anywho, I like the idea of checking out local machine shops... Just check with the BBB for any possible complaints... There are a few seedy ones out there that will do more harm than help... BOL  | |
