Hey, guys, I was wondering what part suppliers do you trust? I have heard some scary things about some places. I was looking for an engine rebuild kit (1835cc) and some seemed too cheap to believe. For instance this kit right here

http://www.mamotorworks.com/VW/product/1835cc-powe...ent_300205

I would've thought something like this would cost at least a thousand.

The other question is what machine shop in the Las Angeles area do you guys trust?

Your mamotorworks link does not work! CB Performance is good. Rimco for machine work.

Is your engine already an 1835?

The place you list is the one I avoid, above all others.
