I've tried the number I have for them and get an "Number is not in service" message.

All searches turn up the same number that I have.

Anyone know what's up?

Thanks,
Andrew

Didn't they move to the Renton area recently?

They're in Kent now. Google the shop name and you'll find the new address.

Call him @ 253-872-4945. Mailbox is probably full, just call back in a little while and somebody usually answers. New shop is twice as big and clean as the old one. I just had him do a bunch of case and head work for a build. Nice lifter bore work, align bore, etc. Plus He re-did some 044 heads for me. Very happy with the work.

Has anyone had an engine built by them recently? Comments on quality/price?

Dub Shop Mario was just there this week and posted pics. He is still doing good work.

Go with someone else if your doing T-4 head work. Jerry still stakes seats in. A big no no with T-4 heads. Go with Adrian (Headflow Masters) or Len Hoffman (Hoffman Automotive). Outside of T-4 heads he does great work.

I drove by Jerry's shop a few months ago and saw it was vacant! I used NWCR to do my case work and ordered a bunch ofparts for my 1776 build, Jerry is super cool and helped out a lot with my engine build process. I built most of it myself but had Jerry help me out some things.

I went over to Autosport and asked Paula about his shop and got the updated info. All the old contact info was still around when I search online, sounds like everything is updated now.
