Default Anyone know of any decent engine machining shops in South Yorkshire/Yorkshire

Anyone know of any?

I've finally managed to get hold of a silvertop 2litre zetec for a turbo build (cars already got 1.8t in it) and once Ive stripped it down next week I might want a rebore and hone, and a port and polish for the head etc

thanks

Stanwood Engineering at Bawtry are excellent!!

Speak with Jonathan, he runs a zetec in his single seater race car and has won his championship several times

They do allot of race engine machining and their quality and standards are second to none.

They do allot of Zetec's for a number of tuners
