Thanks for the replies. I spoke to jerry at JNW and got a quote for the work,
and also at Seven Enterprises in Auburn. Seven had a lower quote, even
accounting for shipping both ways (over 100# with block, crank for sizing,
pistons and rods). Jack at Seven said they can usually avoid having to hone
the crank saddles and caps but would check them for free with the other work
being done. Also included surfacing the block, which I didn't ask JNW to quote,
but it could use it. Since Seven is a Mini specialist, it seems like an easy
decision. Good to know about JNW for future local machining needs though!

Craig,
I have used JNW engine on Piner with good success for Lotus projects. I also
held a tech session at Jerry's shop for club members, who got a good
introduction to his work and capabilities. I know of two other members who have
used his services since the tech session.
All of your needs are well within his abilities. Cost is reasonable but not
cut-rate. Tell him Greg Tatarian with the Lotus twincams, and from the NOBBC,
sent you.
Greg

Hello,
I'm looking for a recommendation of a good, reasonably priced machine shop or
retired machinist working out of his garage for some engine work for my '65
Mini Cooper S. I need to have the main journals line-honed as well as the rod
journals honed, new cam shaft bearings pressed in and possibly a light
resurfacing of the block.
Thanks in advance!
Craig Murphy1965 Morris Cooper S
