brian Posted November 24, 2008 Report Posted November 24, 2008 After reading Loco's thread about cheap porting I wanted to get in my .02 without hijacking the thread. So...................... Jim at Passion Racing Engines did my porting and I couldn't be happier with the results. I did have to wait a LONG time to get the cylinders back and it wasn't cheap, but it was worth it. He has alot of experience and gets alot of referrals based on performance. Another thing that stands out with me is the customer service. He has always been willing to take the time to explain things to me....... even AFTER THE SALE. But, probably the best quality he posesses is honesty. I didn't want my cylinders bored if they could go one more season, so he was gonna check the cylinders and let me know if they needed to be bored or not. I didn't hear from him again till they were ready. When he called to say they were done he said there was a problem when he was working on them and he had to bore them .02 over. He said it was his fault and he charged me nothing for the bore work. Then he told me he was inclucing the pistons as well. He could have lied and said the bores were worn out and needed to be bored. I would have done that work without hesitation and he knew that. I'm sure there are other honest guys out there, but you just never know till you are dealing with them how you will be treated. I'm glad that I didn't go cheap on the porting of my cylinders ! :thumbsup: Passion Racing Engines Quote
wacko2000 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Posted November 24, 2008 I couldnt agree with you more.Jim built my last motor and yes he did take some time about 8 weeks turn around, but it was worth the wait. My bike ran great...Jim is a very honest guy for sure and builds some bad ass motors. He takes his time and does it right. I must have called him and asked him a million questions and not once did he try and rush me off the phone, he took his time and explained everything the best he could to help me understand... Jim's a great guy to do business with.. Quote
2001Stroker Posted November 24, 2008 Report Posted November 24, 2008 posesses-That word kinda made me go cross eyed for a second. It's good to know that there are good builders out there like him. Honsety is the best policy. Quote

Jim's a great guy to deal with and I will have to had that my 12 port is everything i could ever dream of a versatile banshee engine. recomend it to anyone looking for porting. great torque for most trails and lay's a beating on 450 mx bikes (the two wheel ones ) in a drag...
