Why would you take it too Napa in the first place, did you know someone there, in my area at least taking your stuff too a Napa machine shop is equivalent to taking your car to Maaco for a paintjob and on top of that a desirable getting rarer every day engine?

If you want it done right, take your time and do it yourself, at least then you will hopefully know at the end that the best was done and if it blows up than you havent done anything worse than the so called professionals at Napa would have done.



I suppose that would have everything to do with the individual NAPA store. Some have had very good machine shops in them over the years. What may have been a bad experience with one should not condemn them all. Gene
