    My F134 is about to be disassembled.

    I strongly anticipate the need for a professional inspection and repair and machining.

    It’s tough to find a machine shop with experience with our old engines. And how can you determine if they will do a good job except by asking past customers?

    I’m In Pittsburgh but will drive it or ship it to get it done.

    Thanks.

    Ask them where they were when Kennedy was shot.

    Look for machinists who learned their trade when the F-134 was new.

    I would think that any engine machine shop that deals with decking and honing engine blocks, checking for cracks and what not, would be easilly capable of working on an F134?

    I’ve worked with those guys and almost all of them are way behind on the curve. Just my experience though.

    I changed my Google search to "Vintage engine machine shop" and got more hits, but I haven't developed them yet.
