Default Re: Anyone with experiences working with Gocat speed shop?

Just a word of caution when dealing with an engine rebuilder. I had a machine shop with an excellent reputation and long experience rebuild my 21 stud engine. After I installed it and installed the entire front clip the engine wouldn't start. It turned out the engine rebuilder hired an apprentice to do the reassembly of the engine because the shop had a heavy workload. Guess what? The apprentice installed the cam gear on the camshaft wrong! The shop owner did not check it and I did not check it either. Why should I check it? I was dealing with a reputable shop I thought. Fixing that mistake was not any fun as you can imagine. This is just one more thing to think about when selecting a rebuilding shop. Jim in San Jose
