PACR Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 I need to get the camshaft bearings in an x-flow block renewed and also a light hone / deglaze for the cylinders. Can anyone recommend a decent machine shop in the Oxford / Reading / Newbury area that can do this quickly, properly and cheaply, and also any motor factors which will stock the bearings? If anyone wants a manky 1600 x-flow short engine for free (from an Escort Mk 2 Ghia) it's yours if you come and pick it up. My girlfriend won't let me half bury it in the front garden and plant flowers in the bores. Give me a shout. Cheers Piers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Plato Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 I would reccomend Nick Stagg near castle combe circuit - not too far away from you ?? - 01454 323130 He has done several machining jobs on my engine and others folks - top results every time . He takes real care with great enthusiasm - Nice peace of mind smile.gif Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casbar Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Saunders in Cadnam (New Forest) one of the best motor machine shops around. Great service, they also got the bearings for my xflow when they balanced the crank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
