Before the main warehouse Napa, on FL Ave here in Tampa CLOSED their Machine Shop, the guy running it was Adam. Really Good Man, I'd just drag a crank in, he'd Mike it up, and id know what size bearings to get, then check final assembly w/ plastics

I spend 5 to 10 times that much these days.

I just paid around $4000 for machining, blue printing and assembly.
Sucks because I do it now for my career.

In 2017 the last motor I had built it was just under $2K in the decking, boring, line honing, assembly, etc.
