I want some feed back from those that have gotten built motors and who do you recomend? I plan on buying a low compression, sleeved short block!
Who do you recomend?
JG
AEBS
Exospeed
Spark Racing
Import Builders.......

 

I have heard/seen a ton of good work and compliments coming out of the boys from RS MACHINE... might want to consider them.

 

Endyn does great work.

 

Very hard question to answer.. I really think it depends on your goals, location, expectations and most importantly $$$$$$$$$

 

do a search on jg, that will quickly answer one of those questions.

i have heard great about AEBS, and RS.

i heard good things about AEBS so i went w/ AEBS.. i actually called them in Cali and they recommended a shop that was a little closer to me CT, northeast auto machine is the name.. aebs is a little more expensive i think but i was very impressed w/ the work that i got back, i didnt have to do anything else to the short block except put the head and tranny on.. he assembled and installed the crank, pistons, etc for me and didnt charge too much for it.. i figured if im spending the money on getting it done right, make sure its all done right at the same time..

Sent mine to earl to get done...came back looking real nice! Price was good and he has been great even after the sale...

because he is here on honda-tech he was easy to reach and kept me up to date on how things were going...even sent pics of the progress when I asked! Turn around time extremely fast and I'd highly recommend him from personal experience...this is not HT hearsay info buddy!

 

do it yourself...you'll be a lot happier in the end

 

I've heard good things about Earl, and have experienced his customer serive first hand I dont think you can go wrong with Larry at Endyn. I've also seen some stout engines going to Jim Justice of Justice Racing (or something along those lines) and I hear he does excellent work. He's at http://www.justiceracingengines.com I think

most people do not have the tools capable of installing sleeves into a motor.. i can see someone installing there own pistions and valves, but sleeves are not for your average joe to install..

 

I dont think he's talking about the sleeves, I'm pretty sure there is no way to install new sleeves by yourself.

 

I had my motor built by Golden Eagle... My friend just had his block, and head built by JG and the price was really good. I warned him, but he and Javier go way back... Javier got that motor done in 3 weeks which I was very impressed with. Will see how it runs when it's dropped in.

 

Earl does the best builds and best customer service. Cant beat BENSEN sleeves!!
EARL
