I'm tired of trying to find a decent machine operation here in Houston. The only ones worth a damn don't know diddly about four cylinders or turbo motors and basically scoff of the idea of a well built four banger. With a newborn in the house, I'd rather spend money than time at this point.
If anyone has recommendations on a shop (anywhere in US) to ship a block for machine work or better yet a source for already rebuilt short blocks that don't cost a fortune ($2500 shipped max), please let me know.
Looking to build (or buy something similar)
2.0l
Ross pistons; 8.5:1 on Scat rods
Torque plate honed if available
ARP main studs/line honed
Inspected & polished oem crank
deck'd surface with 40RA surface finish
balanced rotating assembly
