[Healeys] Sticker stock- machine shop labor

[Alan Seigrist]

All -

For what it's worth, if you get your motor bored, honed, surfaced and
balanced by a pro, it can make a huge difference in the long term.  I had
my BJ8 done by Bailey Brothers 35 years ago (race shop just south of Napa
Valley), and they really knew their stuff.  I would assume they still know
their stuff, they are still there.  100K miles and 35 years later, the
hone on my cylinders is identical to the day it came out of the shop.  I'd
argue my BJ8 is still the smoothest running BJ8 in the world (last three
words to be announced in Jeremey Clarkson's voice), they balanced every
moving part in my motor.

Cheers,

Alan
