I live in Indiana and all my machine work goes to Brothers, heads, case work etc. They always do a great job! I have tried to use several shops closer to me but they don't get it right.
Good Luck

Probably because too many people and mechanics only think of "Heli-coil" type thread inserts.....which are junk in aluminum and magnesium unless its hardened aluminum and in a stationary machine or part.
Putting in a Time-sert or EZ-loc style insert is about 200% stronger in aluminum than a helicoil.....and is actually stronger than the stock stud....because you can put in an insert with an outer thread with 2X the thread land cross section than the stock stud.
Its why I do my own work. Ray |

Due to loc'n, gotta recommend FAT/Rimco. Be advised that FAT's owners retired, sold the name to the new RIMCO, & all ops from both parties have moved into FAT's original shop:
1558 N Case St, Orange, CA 92867
fatperformance-rimco.com/pages/contact-us
rimcovw.com
(714) 637-2889

I'm not sure how compression works.
Turbos don't produce torque, they produce HP. Instead of torque.
The real problem with NA engines is you don't hear the nice whine of the turbo as it spools up.
Before I commit, I'm going to do more research because I don't really know what piston rings are. |

Ray,
Thanks for the comment. I agree, and typically only use those type products. In the middle of a move and just don't have the time to DIY as usual at the moment. |

I am wondering why they have not thought of what Pruneman99 suggested. A step stud should be just fine here. Ray |
