Best around, proven time over and over. The one guy on here commented about how Rick’s engines that run the local ovals go many times longer than anything done by anyone else around here. I know I’ve brought it up several times but he did Ray’s engine for me (in 2005) and it made 6 hp/ci AT THE WHEELS a few months ago. We’ve used him for 15 years with ZERO issues. Take the drive, enjoy the scenery and know you’re stuff is being done by the best around.

His website certainly sucks and doesnt give much info at all. Just a dot on the state for a location too.

If anyone on here knows him, it’d probably be Darryl. Looks like the guy is into oval racing.

Bumping an old thread but… Definitely had my heads done by him and they turned out great. Website is done mostly by his kid. He is an older guy and spending years in a machine shop didn’t do much for his knowledge of computers and the internet. But he seems to know his stuff and my heads came back looking like new. Milled and valve seats cut. I know he is building stuff for other members on here as well.

i had them resurface a flywheel, they did good work, and it was done right when they said it would be. Not the hardest job, but he’s a good guy and i got a good vibe form him
