Default california machine shops?

not sure exactly where i should be posting this, but thought this might be the best place, im building a b20 and am looking for a reliable machine shop that has experience with hondas and does quality work and backs it up in the san diego area (anywhere in cali would be fine, but prefer san diego area), anyone have any experience or know of any good places?

I'm kinds new to machine shops and this is my first build completely by myself, so what is the diff? I want the block cleaned blueprinted bored and sleeved. In my only other experience with machine shops my buddy was building a 4g63 n the machine shop balanced the crank and put the whole assembly into the block for him, and it made it easy, so I'd at least like that done as well, did I miss anything?

so you're looking for a reputable machine shop to build you the bottom end of the block, right? I don't really know about any shops in the S/D area, but if you can travel about 2-3 hours, you'll have more options available to you. one shop I recommend is GE (Golden Eagle Mfg.). They're one of the top sleeving companies in southern ca. & they also do engine builds. You can try contacting them through H-T. One other shop is Laskey racing in Anaheim. So you can start your search by giving these shops a call. Hope this helps.
