Default Toronto Engine Builders?

Is anyone from the Toronto/ontario area on here? If so who is good at building Honda motors, I was more of a domestic guy before and I no all the places for fords/chevs but honda's and acuras, I have no idea. If you guys could give me some help of places to go that would be great.

I was thinking missisauga engine, leitner and maybe beady and woods.. anyone have anyother ideas or experiences? thanks

My engine builder is difficult to find. I think Splitfire would be one of the best bets.

Hey there Im with you.
Ill keep my comments to myself about Pauls Place (Splitfire)

But I would suggest
Miisauga Engines
Graeme @ Candian Cylinder Head (Great Guy) 416-630-0854
or better yet send your motor down to Bensons or Dart

Good luck

My Engine Builder is Brian at Top Power Racing, he builds great engines if you can get a hold of him. He doesn't have a shop right now so he's kind of here and there.

The machine shop we used is Nash Machine Services Phone: (416)291-0237
20 Venture Drive, Scarborough, ON M1B 3R7

They sell and do Darton Sleeves.

my engine was worked on by Scarborough Engines for the honing. They are one of the only shops who can properly hone an FRM block in the area... this was told to me when I contacted Honda Customer Service? As far as engine bulders go u might wanna go to the same spot satan_srv gets his stuff done. His engine is really nice and his builder should have a good idea of what he's doning with H22s by now. I've had friends go to leitner = cracked sleeves and poor service is what I've heard, however thats not everyones experience just what I've seen.

I also know people that have had problems with leitner. That being said they bored my head gasket and I haven't had any problems with it at 89mm.

But for machining I use Nash.
