if its any help i once sent a block for inspection to Smiths the outcome wasnt the best

Recommend somewhere to have block decked and honed?

Anyone any recommendations for somewhere in the banbridge area to have an engine block decked and honed? Also any ideas of prices? cheers

actually still have the bare block, VW 2.0 9a, - when i built it up it smoked like a champion - turned out i left it too long in momentums dip tank and it ate the fresh honed bores - but always kept hold of it in case i ever decided to go down the 2.1 route which is likely to be never now lol

Thanks for reply Gambit and it actually is a 9a block came out of a rotten corrado has 142k on it and was in a car that has not run in many many years
Removed the gearbox to find the clutch virtually non existent and i assumed the car had been driven to its death
Stripped it down removed the sump and found several bits of metal but found all crank / rod bearings perfect - metal was from the oil pump drive bearings
Bores visually look good but as you say do not want to rebuild it to find its a smoker too
