I have a 7rib squirter block that needs the water jacket corrosion boiled out and the block bored over and decked. Can any one in the bay area recommend me a shop/ anyone who has had machine shop work for before give me rough estimates on costs? Thanks!

Best shop I have come across is Champion Machining in Campbell.
Gary fixed me up where so many others had failed

You get what you pay for. I had all that work, plus checking the crank, swapping pistons (pressed pins) and resurfaced the flywheel and I cost me $350 at a good shop here in Chattanooga.

carbed7age..was that price including bore & decking the 4age block?

Yes, bored 0.020" over and honed the cylinders, decked, cleaned everything, turned the crank, checked the rods, swapped pistons on the rods, and resurfaced the flywheel. They also measured and ordered the bearings for me, but I can't remember if that prudence included the price of the bearings or if I bought them separate. I know I bought the pistons separate.

That's a good deal for all that machine work..thanks for that info..
