410 Machine Service

DO NOT USE THIS SHOP. Mark the owner rebuilt my 305 engine and after 5,000 miles it lost oil pressure and started knocking. I had to put in a new engine. Plus he put my drive shaft in wrong and I had to take it to the dealer to have it fixed properly. He basically told me tough and would not stand behind his work. He is a rip off. Stay clear of this company. RUN AWAY FAST !!!

I would stay away if you have a foreign engine to rebuild. I wanted my engine rebuilt with a new head installed. When I got my engine back the head gasket had a water leak, I took the car back in to have a new head gasket installed (that I supplied) he said he could not find the problem. Then after driving home a little while later not one but two freeze plugs blew out, when I asked to get these fixed he tried to blame it on me for installing the engine wrong. So I check out the head myself, one head nut was stripped out and the rest were not torque correctly. So I pulled the head myself and took photos to show to a more reliable engine builder, they pointed out that both the head and the block had not been machined only block sanded. You would think an engine builder would re-​surface the head to block mating surface when installing a new head. So I took the head and block to the reliable engine shop for a complete tear-​down. They did say what machining work was done was good quality; however the engine was not assembled correct. The timing was not set up correctly. So now I have had this engine rebuilt twice in less than two years, not a good investment.
