Need a machine shop in CT

I am new to CT and need a recommendation on a machine shop to grape hone my Nikasil cyls, clean and check my case, and check my crank and rods.

Thanks in advance!

I've seen their ad in the PCA CVR newsletter. I'll give them a ring. Thanks.

FYI to anyone in CT. KAM is highly recommended. I went by the shop and they spent a lot of time explaining my options and answering my dumb newbie questions. The pricing was more than fair.

Not to mention that they had several 4 Cam 550 motors in various states of construction. Jerry is an old timer who's specialy it the 4 cammer. Gene was great to work with and had a great sense of humor.

Needless to say I dropped off my case, crank, and rods.

My parts came back from KAM yesterday. The crank and rods were magnafluxed. No problems were found. The crank didn't even need to be polished. Thank you Mr. Amsoil :-)

All my other parts came back thoroughly cleaned and I'm ready to start my rebuild. Now the fun begins.
