I'd heard a little bit of bad things about simmons but never this bad. glad I havent needed a machine shop yet here in charleston.

so aside from not having lsx torque plates, don's is a good place? any other places?

I noticed a sign on remount road while driving by for a machine shop down a sidestreet by the advance auto. anyone know anything about them?

my pops had a forged eagle crank he sent to simmons with some other stuff to have balanced and they jacked the new crank up by drilling almost all the counter weight off till they realize something was wrong and called to find out that they were balancing it for the wrong style motor. dad had to eat that one
