In the last week or two I have received many calls asking about our services. I wondered why we received so many all of a sudden. I learned this morning that one of the more well known machine shops is currently not offering this service on certain parts.

Not sure why, hope that everything is ok. Hate to see this sort of thing happening.

So many machine shops have gone out of business over the years. Increased regulations, staying current with new machinery etc., has caused a lot of this.

PD has two operations now. One on the west coast and one on the east coast. For the air cooled 911 engines, we offer full engine case work including Line Bore work, Cylinder Head reconditioning, Connecting Rod recon, along with other work and processes, often needed.

We focus on a high level of workmanship and a quicker turnaround. As this increases the cost, we have less demand which allows for a faster turnaround.

Our services are not for all. I know that costs are important, but quality can only be offered if the time and effort is invested in the processes. Short cuts typically eliminate certain tasks.

Its' up to your quality expectations to decide where to go for these services.
