I am glad I saw this before you did anything! I have a B16A2 that JG took forever to resleeve. To make a long story short, when I assembled the bottom end my 9:1 compression JE pistons sat above the deck. Why you ask? We'll turns out that JG decked the block too much trying to make the cylinder brace they put in a flat surface. We'll after calling and calling and Nancy(the girl who answers the phone) never knowing whats going on and leaving messages, Javier finally calls back on my cell two days later and tells me it's fine because my B16A head has an open chamber so the pistons will not hit the deck! Yet he never acknowledged that what they did was wrong, and made it sound like it was a regular thing. Also my brothers H22 block which I had sent in with mine had the same problem but his was worse. I still use a stock Honda head gasket, while he has to go thicker. Trust me I am telling you the truth about JG. I posted a thread on superhonda.com right after World Import Challenge after I ran into so many people who have had bad experiences with JG. Check it out and see for yourself. JG is not the only machine shop out there. I should of stayed local rather than get screwed a thousand miles away! Do this call them and ask to speak to Javier (owner), Joey (manager) and I guarantee you they are never there. Ask to speak to machinest to see what's going on with your stuff or to ask a question and they are not available. Maybe they don't want to talk to the public or better yet there out playing golf. Nevertheless they took our money and did poor work! Please try calling and make up a reason to speak to them, because after you send your stuff in and you want to know what's going on with your stuff, this is what you will encounter and Nancy will not be able to help you!
Good Luck!

You know my friends shop began dealing with Golden Eagle about three months ago and I have to admit, they do some nice work! They are not all that expensive either. I have yet to hear anything negative about Golden Eagle. Sorry to hear about what happened to your friend ED9Hybrid. You should check out what others had to say at superhonda.com
