thats a question you usually ask before you send your motor out.....call him and ask.....you cant be worried about calling and bugging your builder.....they are doing a service for YOU that you are paying for.

[NYUK]

from my personal experience, not with jim, but many other builders, double the time they say. i have had many motors built.

like nyuk said, it might be a bit, usually winter is somewhat slow time so might get it quick but you have to wait behind other guys that are getting something done. so just figure some extra time then what was said from my experiences.

 

it happens.

 

depends on what your getting done.

So fill us in, what is Jim doing for you, I just got my motor back from him about 3 weeks ago..

Jims a good guy, my motor took alittle longer than expected, but well worth it

I don't want to speak for him, because I don't know what kind of arrangement you have with him. He told me last week that he is pretty swamped right now and about 5 weeks out for porting. Don't know if it would be shorter/longer for a complete build. I am going to finish the sand season out on my current motor and then tear down when it gets hot next year. phil

hes putin in a new crank(trued & welded) , top end overhaul job (bore, pistons ect) no porting, & koolhead 21cc domes, & shift star mod

[NYUK]

why no porting? why not at least a clean up while it is there apart?

[06BaNsHeE]

Minus well get some porting.If $$$ is a problem skip the coolhead and get your stock head shaved instead.

you mean might as well?

[kawiking]

for real !!!! if my motor was going to passions it wouuld deff be coming back with some kind of porting !! like sayed before .......... get a clean up port or something and screw the cool head !!!

[wacko2000]

Yea I agree, You can always add the coolhead when you get some more $$$, While you have everything apart and Jim has the motor, you might as well, wake her up a bit with some slight porting... You will be very very happy with the differnce over stock....

[keeks707]

crank(trued & welded)?? what does that mean?

[theshee]

i would have it ported while he has it. why not do it while its all tore apart?
