Location not nearly as important as proven reliability. I know about Zippers in Maryland, but I'm looking for someone reliable AND cheap. Is that possible? Any suggestions appreciated.
Yes, I did a search.

Been using these guys for years and no regrets yet. Excellent work, great communication and the pricing is right.

Are you talking about Zippers?
Thanks for the input.

Any good automotive machine shop can bore your jugs. I use Mac's Auto World in White Stone, VA

No really, they must use torque plates when doing so and I doubt any automotive shop would have them.

Off topic, but first time I think I've seen someone here from Manassas, reminds me of CSNY. Remember, the quality will remain, long after the price is forgotten.

Thanks for the links and info. I fully appreciate how one usually gets what they pay for, and I know torque plates are required. I've talked around town for a couple years asking guys I ride with who to use and nobody has any experience with anyone other than Zippers. It seems no one has their jugs bored now-a-days.
P.S. Except for the dag-gone property taxes, Manassas is a great place to live... but don't tell anyone. I'm not familiar with CSNY, but I think it's a TV show.
