Build your own engines, or have them built?

I do all my own assembly,period. Been ripped off by supposed "mechanics" too many times sinse turning 16.I learned real fast,thanks to my understanding Dad who would simply ask "why is the lawnmower apart again?"....lol!

I dont have any machining tools,it's real expensive to set up that kind of shop.So finding a machine shop that I can trust is a huge issue,especially since it would be an out of town resource. Especially tricky seeing as many business's dont give a crap as soon as they have your money.This attitude gets compounded as soon as you cant show up in the shop to ***** ie:dealing via the net or phone.

I've even given up on buying anything from ebay,no one there has any sense of responsibilty.
