Hi all - need some LS V8 block machining. I had had a prior suggestion of Knight engine services in Northants. Anyone use them or can comment on quality of work?

Anywhere else I might investigate? I`m in Essex / SE.

Thanks.

I’ve used them in the past, albeit not on a V8, they have years of experience and well equipped workshop.

Gosnays engineering near Romford may be a closer alternative.

I know Gosney's well but they don't have an LS torque plate.

I have used them for a hone on my LS, also fitted the cam bearings for me.

No complaints at all, seem to be very nice people and did the job.

Engine has done about 3,000 miles now making over 600hp NA, so I'm confident they did their bit well at least.

Used them quite a bit, very honest about they will or won't take on and know they've done a lot of LS work in the past.
