machine shops in FLA

I spun a bearing on my 87na. Now, I'm looking for a reputable machine shop in either South, Central or anywhere in between Florida. I'm going to need my crank cut and rods inspected.

Thanks

Give Stratton Motorsports in Winter Park a call. Get ahold of Jason Stratton at the shop (407) 629-1911 or try his cell # (407) 497-9944 and tell him Steve or Eileen gave you this message.

I have used Schovilles machine in Merritt Island and Revmaster . My air cooled stuff gets sent to Ottos in California. Most local machine shops can turn cranks and inspect rods.

Yes, but most machine don't know that the crack has to be nitro treated and must have the oil plugs reinstalled after.

FYI:
I found a machine shop in North Miami called Mesa Balancing. Apparently all the local shops swear by them. I tryed talking to them to get a feel on pricing but all they would tell me over the phone was to bring the parts in for inspection.
If anyone is interested here's their #: 305-884-5368
