Hi Jamey

I had J & M machine do some work on my 1931 American Austin engine, babbitt and balance etc. Their work is outstanding, I wish they were closer to me so I could drop stuff off instead of shipping it to them. Anyway here is there website. Make sure you get an accurate estimate of what they are going to do before they start. They are perfectionists and can get carried away and do more than you need.

Good Luck

R & L Engines in Dover N.H. is not far from the Ma. border and does excellent work. They can be reached at 603-742-8812. As a bonus you will save the Mass sales tax. I believe their website is rlenginescm.

Thanks guys,
I actually went to J&M today and was very impressed. The owners were very nice and very professional. I am taking the 235 over tomorrow and John is going to take a look at it. It's great, they're only 25 minutes away.
