30 day waiting list to get my motor balanced!!!!!!


Recommended Posts

OK, the shop Pete P. recommended is SOOOO popular that they have a 30 day minimum back log on work. Anyone in the Va/ MD/ PA/ NC area know of a reputable shop for balancing a shortblock and building it???

Eeew. Sorry about that Mike. They are popular, and this is the WORST time of year to be getting work done as all the racers are trying to get last minute engines put together.

 

My advice is anybody that's any good will be busy so just get in line. There's a place called House of Balance in Elkridge MD. That's right, that's what they do. Balance engines, etc. I bet they're busy to.

Yeah, machine shops get pretty backlogged I didn't think about much of it until I was shown how much time the balancing (and if a guy wants to spend money) blueprinting really take to do well. Its all really fiddly time consuming stuff, but something you want right. Hope they get to you soon.

Best to wait until race season is over... Most of those guys won't touch anything but a race engine til after labor day...

 

And even then it could be months before you get your block back (if it's anything like the place I've been going to)

I can't wait that long...Looks like I'll be having it balanced and then re-assemble it with Pete or Jamie when I get the parts back... I won't wait until labor day... I got one of the fuel lines plumbed last night after I applied the roll on bed liner stuff, and I get all my brake lines today and will install all of them tomorrow. I'm moving along, and I'd like to have the motor back in the car by May!
