Machine shop in Clarksville/Nashville area

[tenn-gsx]

Hello folks. I'm going to be building a new engine when I return from Afghanistan and need a lead on a good machine shop. I hear great things about Richmond Machine Shop in Clarksville but all I have heard about is head work. Anyone know if they can machine a 4G63 block? Any other shops that you can give me personal experience on? This will be a high HP 2.3L build so I need someone who actually KNOWS the Mitsu 4cyl.

Things Ill be needing done.

Bore 20 Over
Align hone
block decked
Oil squirter's removed or replaced
Mag fluxed
Thoroughly cleaned
Pistons installed on rods
Complete balancing of rotating assy

Refreshing of head including installation of Ferrera valve guides
head assembly
Maybe slight porting
Mirror finish on deck surface(milled not belt grinding)

I need a QUALITY shop. I been ripped off by a local shop on a short block build already. Not planning on going through any of that again.

not bashing anyone but ICE sucked the guys a cool dude but their work sucks.

Shacklett Auto in nashville by the fairgrounds.

Machined my engine, and engine dyno'd it. owned by dad and son, Bo and John.

and they have ALOT of experience with the 4G63's.

that thing looks crazy with all those SS braided lines everywhere.

I only went with ICE because they were recommended to me by a couple dsm'rs here in town. I wish I has more experience to look at the motor to check on the work they did. Im still in the learning stage.
