Engine Rebuild/Machine Shop Needed in Northern VA

[hursst]

Hello,

   I have a 1930 Plymouth with the 4-cyl engine.  The engine has internal oil leaks of some type and is fouling the plugs quite badly, probably valve guides or piston rings or both, I'm guessing.  I would assume it will need machining as well.  The internals of the engine most likely have 40+ years of carbon, scale, and sludge inside as well.  It's time for a rebuild, or at the very least, to take the engine apart and give it a good once-over. 

 

   I have a few places in mind, but can anyone recommend a good shop from anywhere from Richmond, VA to maybe Baltimore, MD that could take on a job like this, preferably a place with its own machine shop?  Thanks for any thoughts and advice!

I used Dave Lucash in Warrenton, Va. He rebuilt the engine in my 1941 Plymouth and my 1956 Thunderbird. Nice guy, very pleased with his work.

I second Mark Small’s shop. Good work and decent lead times.
