Does anybody know of anybody that's actually open in Christchurch at the moment that can balance a crankshaft etc? I'm pretty sure that Mace is still inside the cordon.

I don't know if they're open, and they aren't cheap, BUT Engine reconditioning services in the St Asaph St (East of fitzgerald) have a VERY sensitve Sunnen balancing machine. If I was building a really sweet motor, I'd get them to do it. (My A15 was done done there, but the bloke who did it as a foreigner no longer works there)

Sweet, thanks man. I'll try and give them a ring tomorrow.

blacklows in ashburton could be worth a go if you have no luck in chur

I have heard many good things about Engine Reconditions balancing machine, they did a pretty sweet job on my flywheel and clutch cover

I know Mace is still closed. However John mentioned tonite that they are back to work on Monday.
Also Engine Reconditioning services have moved out to taitape. Not sure if they are operational but shoot them a email or call and im sure they will let you know

Awesome thanks man.

i like mace

even though they are a little more $$ it looks worth it when you are in there shop and everything is so clean and layed out and orginised.

makes me think they are doing a propper job.

Yeah, they did a good, fast job on balancing my crank pulley, that's why I was going to use them again for the crank. Not so great a job on lightening my flywheel though.

Just out of interest Mace have come back to me with the following prices:
$60.00 to do crank
$60.00 to do flywheel and clutch
$60.00 to do Pistons and rods approx as this will depend on time spent.

Not actually that bad! Maybe I'll get the RB bottom end done.
