I've done a bit of stuff for the Datsun lately
. After a bit of a long break, I've just been driving it around for the most part haha.
Also I went to see the place that I usually get engine work done to get the head skimmed and they have shut down
. Does anyone have any recommendations for places around newcastle to skim the head, do the valve seats and maybe regrind my cam?
Hey Jarich,
Jack Jones Engine Reconditioning in East Lambton, 24 Wyong Road.
Phone: 4956 1339
Jack works by him self, he quoted me the other day $165ish for a Datsun L4 head service + $110 for a pressure test. head service is acid clean, head surface, valves re cut. Not sure if he grinds cams tho.. never asked him.
He has to be one of the top machinist in Newi, 30+ years in Engine Reco'ing, standard of work and quality is awesome. I get all my work done by him, he may be a little on the exxy side but at least he's spot on.
You can tell him a young fella named Steve with the Datto sent you.
I spent half a day with him just talking and helping him out and seeing what its all like, and i realised how padantic he is with customers jobs. Wouldn't bore a block if it wasn't 100% spot on to the thou'.
Anyway, only person i can mention personally.
Top work on the SU's.
Cheers,
Stephen.
