Title: bore out my block
Post by: jtanguay on November 15, 2004, 09:37:05 pm: I'm thinking of rebuilding my diesel and I live in oshawa ontario (near whitby ajax toronto etc...)

I don't know where to go to get my engine bored out. I don't want to trust just anyone to this, so I ask the pros, u guys. The rest of the rebuild I can handle on my own (i think)

any help greatly appreciated!!!

There's a little machine shop on Wentworth between Wilson and Ritson, on the North side of the road. I always get that guy to do my machine shop work for me. It's right next to Guilmore's automotive repair. Best machine shop I've found in Oshawa.

My car had been serviced there up until September when I bought it and it appears that it's been well taken care of. I've got about 8000$ in receipts from there over 377k km and nothing looks unusual. Well, he does change the head gasket every time he changes the timing belt but he probably has a good reason for this. The only goof that they've done on the car that I know of was to put on too narrow of an alternator pulley.
