Re: Engine Rebuilder
I'd have to recommend Jay Temple in Lexington NC. Very knowledgeable guy and does things the "right" way. If you don't know him, he is a invaluable resource. PM me and I can give you his contact info..

Ross Lilliker in College Station Texas. A mechanical engineer who enjoys his work and is not a grouchy old curmudgeon.

So what makes Ross the best? He does not bitch, complain, and moan as if he has to turn over heaven and earth just to rebuild your engine the way you want. Who wants to listen to some old bastard carp and complain about how difficult the job is and how they are the only one who can do it? Ross is not as old as some of the other guys who rebuild T engines, and he doesn't have their crybaby attitude. Ross does the job cheerfully and you don't have to listen to a bunch of curmudgeonly crap. |

Re: Engine Rebuilder
Just following up on this to note that Kevin Prus's shop contents are being auctioned off.

Re: Engine Rebuilder
I don’t believe that was the Prus garage.

Re: Engine Rebuilder
I want to attempt to build an engine for an Early Model T (1909-14). I am not a mechanic but I think I'm up for the challenge. I will be all smiles when I get it running !
