Tri-Point Engineering - California, good specialist?
 
Hi everybody.. I'm looking for opinions and/or experience etc. regarding Tri-Point Engineering of California, as far as being a good rotary specialist for the every day owner? I'm currently interested in a few FD's that have had extensive service there.. (tried searching them here & didn't seem to find anything) Their website makes them sound like gods, but I live on the east coast so haven't a clue. Also, if there's a better section to have posted this in I apologize, and as always, appreciate your feedback! :icon_tup:

Tri-Point was already around when I first owned a RX-3 in the early-80s. No personal experience with them, then and now, but I know a handful of locals with tri-point built motors or maintained by them

There shop is around the block from me, I hear them on the dyno all the time :)
If I needed work done I'd likely have them do it but for now I just get parts from them.

as WackyRicer said, they've been around for decades. i think i may have even gotten a catalog from them back in the day - i think i remember a blue and white FC on the cover or something like that. anyway, i've never patronized them, but i've heard only good things.

After more closely reading the info on the main FD in question, I realized (unfortunately) that its' engine wasn't rebuilt there. (though the two I've pretty well ruled out were) It just had a few minor issues resolved by them & was given an excellent bill of health afterwords. If I don't go for that one, it seems most FD's I find worth checking into are Cali cars & now I know Tri-Point's a good shop - thanks guys! :icon_tup:
