pavtek in lalor are good
berryman engines out in moorabbin are also good

[takai]

Crankshaft Rebuilders in Mitcham are good, best on the east side i would say.

I have used HEADTECH before, can't remember what suburb they are in but i do remember how to get there...
They are just of the westgate freeway i think you get off at millers rd, and they are right near the mobil plant up there..

Give Sean a call at CW engines. 9873 3800

He has been building my engine and the work they have done and the prices are awesome.

I had all my 3sge machine work done at Footscray Engine Reconditioning (used to be Repco) They do a good job at machining 9689 3211
I have delt with "Motor Improvements" for my dry sump oil pump - they are very helpful.

You might try even GM, repco deals with them (where i work) and seems to do well,

But for some reason they have taken 3 tries to get my mates 3sge to be non problematic, there was pieces metal in the combustion chamber!

Haha so are you recommending them or not?!

[trd-st162]

Don't think we can say anything bad about any workshops here can we?
Its beating around the bush hehe.
U might have more luck with them!

[tooch]

Nah its just that I wouldnt take my engine to somewhere that took 3 goes to get an engine going, especially with metal in the combustion chamber!!

ive used crankshaft rebuilders. takai - i think they're closer to blackburn than mitcham they are located in cottage st.

Rohan what exactly are you looking at getting done ?

std pricing for bore & hone is about $25 a hole
headwork can get expensive depending on what you want done
