Bay Area, CA machine shop 3FE

[MarkMarine]

Well, I fear that noise I was chasing was more terminal than I thought, I’m waiting for a tow truck now, seems like the motor seized.

I want to keep it nice and stock, and I can rebuild it myself, but I would love recommendations on who to send the block and head to.

Anything I should watch out for when I speak to the shop?

That truly sucks.

Valley Hybrids is 87 miles away from San Francisco. Not exactly close but not too far either.

Georg at Valley Hybrids referred me to them when my HG blew a few years ago. I got a rebuilt 2F head from them and they are very LC-experienced. I'd expect them to work with the 3FE as well.

It's not quite Bay Area but probably worth the extra miles in terms of experience.

I will happily drive the motor there for a good shop, no problem at all. I think anywhere from LA to Oregon to Reno is my range.

Thank you!

@MarkMarine I would call YOTA1 and see what their turn around time, I spoke to one of the guys at Norcalfest and he said they have 88 engines that is in the works right now.
