Wish I could do it all myself as you suggest. This has all drug out so long and had me so frustrated that my wife made the same suggestion....Unfortunately she didn't understand that the cost to set up an engine machine shop with even 1/3 the capability these guys have would be extreemly cost prohibitive, even if you bought nothing but old equipment. Heck these guys have another block machine setting in a corner that they bought brand new for close to $80,000 that had problems from day one that they never got fixed. Though it can be run by someone that knows where to hit it with a hammer (literaly) to make it work right, it has been sitting right where it was installed for about 15 years or more and is now covered in 'stuff'. So, take that much for a block machine, add on for the crank grinder, line boring setup, all the special tooling for checking heads, etc, etc, etc, and your probably looking at a minimum of $250,000 just to get an initial setup. Like I said, very cost prohibitive for someone like me who is already struggling and trying to rebuild a business that was nearly killed by effects of the bad economy and the loss of several long time customers, also due to the economy.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
