Looking for a machine shop recommendation

  • After 160,000 miles, off road abuse and marginal maintenance I had a piston drop its skirt into the pan. Other than that one piston, the engine looks great inside. I'm going to order a set of pistons and I need a shop to press them onto the rods for me. Does anyone have a local (Newark - Elkton area) they would recommend. I'm pressed for time and need to get this thing back together quick. Any leads would be appreciated.

  • I just had Accurate Machine to
    redo my engine head for my mini copper a few weeks. He does good work but not cheap.

  • Alderman Auto Machine on RT-13 outside Wilm would be my first pick.


    Closer to you would be R & K Motor and Machine off RT-72 in Newark.... I haven't used them in years so I can't say good they are these days.

  • There is a place around Diamond State Tire. Not sure of the name but good guy. He made an extension piece for my pops F250 that made his shocks fit for a lift...
