I am not familiar with the Michigan area, sir, however, this is the most important part of your build. Do your homework, check out well whomever you go with. Mine was done by idiots with a pretty web page and my butt still hurts. My engine seeps from areas that a child could have machined properly. 'There never seems time to do things properly the first time, but always time enough to do it again, with much greater cost.'
