Title: Decent engine shop needed - UK
Post by: akendall1966 on September 25, 2011, 10:52:36 PM
Help!!!

Need a recommendation of a decent engine shop that could skim and line hone the camshaft bearings on a DRZ 400 (single) head.

Sadly some Muppet had over torqued the bolts on one side and left the others finger tight resulting in some scoring from a probable seizure at some stage.

Hopefully getting it honed is more economic than taking a chance on a  unknown head from EBAY.

Suggest ringing Paul, the owner of UFO Motorcycles in Huntingdon and ask who he uses. Make sure you get Paul as he's quite helpful, not one of the staff.  If I think of anything else I,ll let you know.[/list]

Thanks John - They came up on a google search and looked capable, so goo to know there worth asking. Whitney isn't to far and a resonable excuse for a ride over.

Just to be clear, they don't do the work themselves, they outsource.  But Paul will be using whomever is the best local firm.
