Well, it isn't just Lorenzo. My engine block/crank/rods were machined by Greg@ GN auto in Doylestown. Greg does some of the best machine work in Bucks County, but once again, I had to wait 3 months for it. Good machine shops are getting very tough to find and anyone with a good reputation will be extremely busy.

Don't be upset with Lorenzo, his crew does some great engine work. It is ALWAYS better to wait for good machine work rather than assemble an engine to find the crank cut too much or the cylinders bored too much....... done by a less than satisfactory machinist. I've seen it happen.
