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. <div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Alan<br><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div><div><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Apr 6, 2022 at 10:22 AM Al Fuller via Healeys <<a href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net" target="_blank" data-mce-href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net">healeys@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;

Has anyone recently had machine shop work done on a 100 engine and could you let me know if what I paid seems reasonable? I've had work done at this particular shop and consider them the best around, so the quality of work isn't questioned. Keep in mind I supplied all parts (valves, springs, guides, cam bearings, freeze plugs, etc.). Also I delivered a disassembled engine, and I'm assembling the engine. <u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; color: #26282a;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; color: #26282a;"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; color: #26282a;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; color: #26282a;">Clean and machine stock flywheel $140<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; color: #26282a;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; color: #26282a;"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; color: #26282a;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; color: #26282a;">Head- cook, Magna Flux, replace guides, machine seats/ guides, resurface, and assembly $510<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; color: #26282a;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; color: #26282a;"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; color: #26282a;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; color: #26282a;">Clean, Magna flux and resize rods $260<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; color: #26282a;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; color: #26282a;"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; color: #26282a;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; color: #26282a;">Clean/ grind crank and machine slinger area for rear seal kit $580<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; color: #26282a;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; color: #26282a;"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; color: #26282a;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; color: #26282a;">Block- cook, deck, install one cylinder sleeve, bore all 4, line bore mains, install cam bearings, install freeze plugs, machine lip off rear main cap for rear seal kit. $1,675<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; color: #26282a;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; color: #26282a;"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; color: #26282a;" data-mce-style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'inherit',serif; color: #26282a;">I know this is a loaded question, and really just curious if these seem a bit inflated.
