Default anyone recommend a good machine shop for my b20vtec?

need a machine shop to hone, align bore, post and align hone the mains and stuff on my new built b20 bottom end. I only want to take it to a shop with experience building bad *** hondas though. Anyone know a good place near SF or up in Sonoma county I can take my block to?

I also need a place that can do transmission work as well.

yeah, DNR is not the best by a long shot, they aren't bad and no disrespect but I have had some pretty disappointing experiences with those guys. I won't be going back. thanks though. worst customer service ever and they simply didn't do a lot of what I asked them to and they over charged me.

thanks crx savage, I'll look them up for sure, definately need someone with experience for this motor I'm building as it should be relatively aggressive.

any other suggestions from anyone? hopefully with personal experience with a built motor?

the more I hear about DNR the more bad experiences I hear about them, wish I'd seen this stuff when I searched for DNR review "dnr review"

did you ever call them about that itr basemap bullshit?
