DSM friendly machine shop

[troubleshoot]

Just wondering if anyone knows of a good machine shop that is familiar with DSM's in the chicago area. Preferably on the south side/south subs.

What you want done?

Looking to build a 2.4lr soon. I have a new block. Probably rotating assembly balanced, freshin up the 2g head on my car now, ect. The usual. No crazy port work or anything. Will probably use a MLS HG so head and block and head will need to be surfaced for that. I'll probably assemble the bottom end myself.

I would contact Devo Tuning in Barrington. They should be able to direct you to a great DSM machine shop. They did my head over the winter, and damn, it seems like they know there stuff.

Yeah contact Devo. They do quality work and use top machine shops. I recommend Class One Inc. they know their stuff.

How far are you willing to drive? PURE Tuning in Toledo, OH does amazing work. Keith and Aaron are very knowledgeable with DSMs, EVOs, STIs, ect. They are a racing performance shop. I believe it's around 3 hours from Chicago.

3 hours isnt bad. Im still weighing my options. Im trying to sell a townhouse in the south suburbs out here. Can't build the motor until I do, so I have some time to decide. Anyone looking for a completely remodeled townhouse in south suburban Chicago .... $18,000.

It really depends on how extreme your setup will be. Opel is good and will get the job done very nicely. They did some valve work for me. They are also closer to Chicago to.

I had class one inc do my 2.4 liter block and assemble my cylinder head. They know their stuff. I would recommend them. 2-3 hours from you. 5 min from me

I had Class One do my motor also. Terry is the one who helped me research and come up with my setup. Its different though. I'm willing to do things most aren't. Like drive to Freeport 3 times a week or ship my motor etc. But if you want the best and are doing a major or high end build I do recommend Class One first. Opel still knows their stuff and can do a great build with no issues so they come second.
