Evening all,
my block has just gone for machining, cam bearings, crank and a rebore. I did want the centre cap machining flat, but was told that the engineers i am using can't do this as the mill/grinding machine is no good on cast iron.
Can anyone suggest somewhere close to me that will be able to do this.
I live in nottingham J26 of the M1.
MAny thanks

We can sort that for you at smart performance.. what did you want it machining for? A steel centre main strap?

We are in tamworth but the Mrs goes to nottingham everyday so could collect it from you maybe?
