Hello,

Are there any engine builders on here ? Are their any guys that know guys that build Ariel engines ?

Lets get technical. I'm building a 58 MK II and I either need to 'tool up' to line hone it or find someone that

has the right equipment to do it. I'm in Arizona.

Thanks, Greg

As rare as hens teeth I guess

Hi Greg...Seems to me there are a few folks looking to do line bores on their Squares. I thought the Admin of this page was looking to do the same thing . Not sure if he has found anyone yet...I'll see what I can find out...Cheers, Dan

See the suggested contact for Steve Daniels in Maine under the line boring topic

Just don't plan on being in a hurry. My engine has been there for a year now and still not completed. I have confidence that he does good work but is frustratingly slow

He has no email and rarely responds to voice messages left on his phone

Make your own decision.

I DO want to give a shout-out to Paul Ackerman, also in Maine, who oversaw the completion of the lower end of my Square 4 MK II with scrupulous attention to detail throughout the whole process. To do it right is not cheap (although Paul's hourly rates are more than reasonable), but doing a half-assed job will just result in more expense down the road.
Paul's contact details can be found in his ads for precision gaskets and spacers, in the club newsletter.
I couldn't be happier with the end result of Paul's work
