Yeah cheer up Jordan! You made me cry yesterday. That's gotta count for something

 

speaking of cake. one afternoon coming home from the track i came across a car on the highway with a license plate of MMM CAKE

 

Phone had do to with some of it.

 

Wow. Congrats Jon.

 

Thanks!

 

Anybody know a good engine shop? I was at D&W custom engines and from what I understand, they would be building my motor which isn't exactly what I want.

So any other options would be helpful

 

Be a man and build your own haha.

 

Jon where/how did you end up meeting your future wife to be?

 

Well I'm trying but when I went to talk about machine work, the guy said they were gonna check the crank and rod bearings, piston clearances and ring clearances.

Hence me asking if anybody knows a good engine shop!

 

not following either...... jordan.....

danish wedding cake is this wonderful lil treat of a firm danish almond chewy sweet goodness.....

 

D&W is good, but Rod's ego is a little overinflated, and he screwed up my last DOHC motor I sent him... his screw up was wholly at my cost.

There is a shop that is not too far from unlimited performance that many people in town seem to like - it's a smaller shop, but I got BAD vibes when I talked to them about checking/sizing titanium rods...
??

I would say that if you have down time that you should go talk to Billy over at Economy Cylinder heads - this guy is a total straight shooter, and fairly well networked with the local machinists ect...
He was the preferred shop where we sent our heads to when I was in the industry (at a small local mechanic shop).

I would encourage you to assemble it yourself, but if you can afford it, getting it assembled & warrantied by a shop is nice - but they might require having the head done by a local reputable shop that they deal with - especially since this is a DOHC motor...

Talk to Billy...

 

at the last place I expected to... POF

seriously.

 

Ah ok gotcha. When I was looking to do the same (get resleeved ect) before I found a semi built short block all together I called all the heavy hitter shops around here. And I didnt trust a single one of them. Sport compact motor builds are few and far between around here and I was getting responses like "never done it but ill try". No thanks lol. I was going to get the work done in the states and then ship it up here.

 

lol not so much of a surprise considering i met my wife there too...

 

I mean it as no knock to anyone else, but it is known as more of a hook-up site, and I was flat out told on a couple occasions that I was on the wrong site...

Finding a devoted Christian gal on that site, IMHO is akin to a needle in a haystack.

 

I met my boyfriend on CSS.eHarmony.net.

Seems the internet is a trend to us Calgary folks

 

Good stuff Jon. Yeah you would think that christian mingles would have been a better place lol.

Shockingly a lot of people have started dating from this site.

 

lol I know. Jazer was actually the first person to say that. She met her husband here.

 

Back in my day, a fello ***** named red2.4ss moved to thompson MB from washington state for a girl he met on here. (forget her user name)

 

Yeah it definitely seems to happen that way here.

 

I've heard POF is also known as plenty of ****$

 

^ I've heard that too

 

Me and my friends went on it a few days ago just to see how easy it was, we had 3 lines up by the end of the day.... And they never even saw a picture of us

 

Thats gross

 

Yeah i have some interesting stories from POF lol.
