Machine Shop Prices

Always. His **** is paid for, that's the difference.
What are you building, because there is a point where youre just trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
Maybe this isn't being realized...but most everyone's stuff on this board is a few thou off from deck to deck, end to end...most peoples ports do not flow exactly identical, rod lengths differ...in a lot of people's stuff. Most don't know it and the others do and don't give a ****, because it matters about 0-2 hp in what they're doing...in fact, the machine work they get done at prices some have deemed too/suspiciously cheap ...is usually more accurate than factory line stuff that went 100,000+k miles in the first place.

its all just junk really.

My **** is built.

My POINT is no one can make it on that kind of money. I don't care if it's paid for or not. His lights ain't paid for, his employees etc.

If you want production machining, that's what you paid for. Do you know how much more time it takes to make a deck square, rather than just slap it in the mill and flatten the out? It take about 15 minutes more.

I'm continually amazed at the coupon clipping, tire kicking, bubble gumming attitude of people. If you are building a dead stock engine, that's one thing, but most guys on here talk like their engine is their first born.

I don't work for poverty wages.
