Wanted to see where everyone else would recommend sending pistons and cylinders out to be honed. I have a set of JE race pistons (these) https://aapistons.com/collections/piston-liner-kit...piston-kit
This will be on a big power E85 efi turbo so i really need them to be right. I had Ace set up to do it, but he said he's super busy and can't get to it until November. Anyone else you'd trust for this work?

Isn't it necessary to have torque plates? Can't imagine many have those for a VW

Thanks. Who are you b-man?

I have plates. You've gotta be patient, but I can help. I don't have a set price, but I'd need one or all of your pistons, and at least one ring package.
