I will never use this business again nor would I ever refer anyone to them. The owner Tim was rude to me over the phone and flat out lied to me in person. Its one thing if you cannot do the job but to lie to a customer is just uncalled for, and when I asked why he didn't call me and tell me he couldn't do the job I was told " I figured you'd call eventually and to come get my parts." I took a few stock HD cylinders in to have .01" bore done. I took my brand new pistons, rings, and instructions from the piston manufacturer on how to ensure proper boring was completed. I was told by TIm that my cylinders had been Nikasil plated and that his hone wouldn't be able to do the job. 2 things: Nikasil is a secondary operation sometimes done to aluminum cylinders, this is not the case. Factory HD does not do this to cylinders and secondly, who tries to HONE .01"....... 20 yrs ago while in college I was a machinist. You don't hone that much material off you would be there for days. You would bore .007"-.008" and hone the remaining amount. Nikasil is slightly, slightly magnetic, I took a small .250" diameter by .125" thick magnet with me, and it immediately smacked to the inside of the cylinder wall. He had no reason to be that rude to me nor lie to me about why he couldn't do the job. They came with a very strong reputation, and I was told were well versed in machining HD cylinders. Clearly this wasnt the case and I won't ever waste my time bothering to dial there number again.
