I have 2 bridgeport blocks that each need a sleeve. No one around my area can or will do this on an outboard block due to blind hole. Any one able to recommend a quality shop to be able to do this? I have been refered to a guy in Peterburogh but thats 5 hours each way from me. If hes who i gotta use, i will. Just wondered if there was anywhere closer? Thanks |

Yes that's who I was talking about. And rowboat recommended them lol. Like I said ill use em, and have already talked to them. My main issue is getting the block to them. Its a good trip from owen sound and even further from sarnia. Next to impossible to get there during business hours unless I ship maybe? |

If you can get them to my shop in Toronto I can get them to Peterborough I have one here that need a sleeve as well maybe we can get a break on the price if we do three. I will also check here in Toronto somebody must be able to do it here. I bet Yammer knows a good machine shop. |

Looks like im gonna meet up with Marc and he will get it the rest of the way as hes got a block to be done aswell. Thanks 1 eye bandit. You have been a huge help this season. (he lent me a block and enough stuff to make a motor so i could get on the water this summer. After a crank bearing let go in my 200 scoring 2 cyls) This also allowed me to achieve my highest speed to date of 88 mph. So for that I thank you!! |
