Golden Eagle seems to be a good shop.
I have been doing some research on them and they seem to be alright. I think I will try them on some of my build ups.

H22 motors should be used more often. Theyre great motors.
We're building a 2.5L 15:1 compression race motor for a customer right now.
can't wait til the H to B transmission kits come out.

Personally Bensons. I have never had one problem with anything coming out of his shop, especially since hes the one doing all the work now. He takes personal pride in everything he does, which some other shops out there have "workers" doing their machining. It may take a little longer, but you can gurantee that all the tolerances are within .0002 (Just my $.02)

Valley Engines in Fountain Valley is a great Machine shop. I dont have any experience with GE, but I know that valley engines did all the machine work on R&D's all motor shootout engine. Whenever i come in theres atleast like 3-5 honda blocks laying around waiting to get sleeved.
They are not a honda-only shop like GE, so for assembly work maybe that would be the better choice, but they are a first rate machine shop.

Who said we were a Honda only shop?
We build and sleeve all the 500 h.p. Ecotec crate motors for Saturn motorsports, build and sleeve all the Mazdaspeed 2.3L crate engines, and so much more. We sleeve and build:
SR20's, VQ35, Porsche 944, EJ20, EJ25, and whatever else you need.

Honda only......sheesh
