^YOU BOTH ARE WRONG!^

Do it yourself

I think that it is an amazing learning experience (plus its cheaper) to do it yourself...go to www.nopistons.com then go to the porting section of the forum to learn more

Oh...and check the sig for a preview.

Whether Ken is a dick or not, he should know who to contact and where to get one done.

Bill Koch used to build IMSA race motors; not sure if he is still around but he should know.

http://www.ohiorotaries.com exists to connect Ohioans with rotaries with each other and buisnesses catering to our obsession. There are a few people on there that don't come around here much, post this up over there and you might find a few locals who know some good sources.

Peejay works for a speed shop in Cleveland, they're expensive, but good. There is also the RX7Store.

Remember, a disgruntled customer will tell more people than a happy one. They'll also tell you what they think wether you ask them to or not, while a happy customer might need a shove to talk about a good experience.

I feel so enlightened

But hey...like i said before...if you are tight on money and have some free time on your hands...crack open the engine yourself and go for a 1/2 bridgey

Oh, sorry. By the title of this thread, I thought you were looking for a hooker!

Can't help you out with any engine work, but call Kandy sometime (she's great)!

I am working with my dad (Ken Carswell) at his shop when the work load is high enough. I also am responsible for all high performance work. SHM21284 was trying to stick up for me, but I have to say Ken is a honest guy, and very trust worthy.
