Recommended Machine Shop and Engine Builders for RB Motors

[etang789]

What are some best recommended machine shop and engine builders for RB Motors. Need some names and contacts to start researching, ones I found on this site seems outdated.

Looking for ones that can also do CNC head porting.

In Oz or Honkers?

In Oz, Lewis Race engines in Adelaide would be a good choice.  As would Knight Engines, but he is usually flat out booked for a year or so in advance.

I'm betting that if you did just a little googling you would find the 6 or 8 highly recommended shops in the eastern states, and the one or two really good ones in Perth too.

As for CNC head porting.....waste of time unless you're wanting to do multiple heads (like dozens) and want to bring the per unit cost down.  If you want the best port job, you still need to finish a CNC job by hand, because CNC porting has to be quite conservative to avoid problems caused by core shift etc etc.

JHH, CNC heads.. Very sex

Or there's PMC, one man shop and he hand ports but it looks as though a robot is doing it (he is that good). Has built many race winning engines for WTAC.

Depends how deep your pockets are.

In NZ Robbie from RIPS has a rock solid track record building his own and customer's engines. Does a lot of exporting - builds cars for English Premier League players (so not bargain basement builds) but worth getting a quote:
