Easy answer: Dick Elverud, at Northwest Machine Products. Hillsboro, OR, near Portland. 503-502-1609. also does any other Porsche specific machine work, like replacing rocker arm bushings. Usually fast turnaround too, which is getting very hard to find.

I’ll put a solid review out for John Walker. He did my 3.2 and was amazing to work with. You can find him here for direct contact or dm me for direct info. He’s up in marysville wa north of Seattle.

If I can recommend someone that maybe is close. Hood River area.

Steve Becker. 949 633 8851.

I worked with him building race engines for Porsche (Andial) back in the day. Then he ran his own precision machine shop and the the last couple of years is working rebuilding and machining Porsche engines again. We still work together on projects and I can recommend his quality.

Mr. Elverud built my engine back in the 90's. It's at interesting "bit of kit".
