dajogejr Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Anyone in the Metro Detroit area on here recommed a good, reputable machine shop for cylinder boring, honing? I need a fresh top end for my shee, and can't afford to go the porting/4mil crank route at this time. Any place close around here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboybanshee Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 I'm not sure how close you are to this guy but he is in Michigan and is a really nice guy to deal with. Andy @ Grand River Racing. He's boring my cylinders right now. http://www.grandriverracing.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajogejr Posted June 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 (edited) Where in MI are ya?? I know a few different ones 383737[/snapback] Metro-Detroit area. In Roseville now, moving to St. Clair Shores in a week. As said, I have a 96 with a stock, untouched motor. Still runs good. I just know it's getting tired, and could use a freshening up. So, since it's stock...and they don't make a .010 piston kit, I'm 100% positive I can go a nice .020 on it... Depending on how much they charge and how fast they can get it done, I might try to get it torn down and back together for the 4th of July weekend... If not, I'll wait...

If not, I'll wait... 383744[/snapback] I live near Flint and a friend of my dads runs a snowmobile engine race shop called "Iron Dog Racing" I have him do all my work. Hes excellent! You can take him your jugs and he will bore and hone them right on the spot, you won't wait but about 15 minutes. His shop is located near Clio (near I-75 & m-57) which is just over an hour away from Detroit. I think he charges $35 per jug and I wouldn't take mine to anyone else even if he charged $100. I am taking him a few jugs tonight as a matter of fact. Also, if you need parts, his prices are better than anyone elses but you have to wait for the order to come in, he doesn't keep much in stock for Banshees. His number is (810)-241-7101, and his name is Jerry, can call up til I think around 10pm (he says midnight but I only do that if I am in a serious crunch). If he asks how you heard of him, tell him Jeff sent ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajogejr Posted June 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Thanks much, boys. Around the 40 buck mark per cylinder is what I was expecting to pay. I'm just going to order the top end kit from Magic, then take 'em the pistons to match 'em. I'll call both and see how busy they are...
