Decent engine shop SE Essex way

[virgil]

Anyone reccomend a GOOD engine machine shop and balancing place in South East Essex? I'm weighing up fitting a new crank to my very ill bottom end (but would need it fully balanced internally) or biting the bullet and going for a V8D bottom end from the RV8 Gurus...

Half of me wants to build the engine myself with a new crank, partly to keep the numbers and some originality there and partly because I 'feel I should'...and the other half of me says, bite the bullet and just buy a rock solid bottom end...

The savings (short term maybe!!) would pay for the cam and some other bits of the upgrade I was doing anyway...

So IF I can find a good machine shop near me, I'm temped to do a home rebuild...

To be fair, I guess most machining work is pretty generic. I'll give em a call.

Cheers, 'broken crank'
