Crackaway machine in Elk Grove did my machine work and are very well versed in VW. I brought my crank in and the machinist looked and instantly said" VW crank".

Greg's VW Service in Elk Grove uses Ken Jansen for his machine work. He is constantly making trips back and forth to Ken's shop in Belmont to pick up and drop off VW engine parts to be machined. I'm sure Greg could help you.
Both Greg and Ken support the VW hobby, are both active in VW racing and likely be at the Bug-O-Rama this weekend. |

Bugformance is not a machine shop.
Not the most friendly shop either.
Ray Vallero would be your best bet.
Take a bus up there and make a day out of it.
Think of all the nice people you'll meet.
