Re: H&H engine re-builders
I have been quite pleased with my ANTIQUE ENGINE REBUILDERS from Skokie, IL, job they did for me with inserts, hi compression head, balanced shaft, lightened wheel, hardened and over bored valves, etc.
all at a very good price. They met me in HERSHEY and exchanged for my core at that time. I arranged for it ahead of time. |

A dear friend bought a wrecked slant window with a low mileage H & H engine, straightened & painted the car, tested it locally for 27 miles, took off ALONE! and drove up to Northern Montana & the Canadian Border. Only problem was overheating twice on a loooong 13 mile constant grade. Then he realized he was over-advancing for that speed, trying to get MORE power, no more problems. That's a common mistake, I've unconsciously done it myself a time or two in the hills. Remember, in the hills, Sorta' match the advance to the speed. Like, 1/2 speed=1/2 advance. My point is, there's a lot of rebuilders, and some are not always BAD some are not always GOOD! The mechanic/machinist that NEVER has "comebacks" ain't doing much! Some problems MAY be caused by owners finishing up the assembly of a rebuilt "short block" done by a reputable company. Would he ADMIT his mistakes, or using "BAD" components, NO! he'd probably blame it on the rebuilder ?????????? Bill W.

Re: H&H engine re-builders
If you are in New Jersey try J&M http://jandm-machine.com/ not too far from you in Massachusetts. They are very nice to deal with, reasonable, and do great work that they stand by. They do all antique engines and rebuilt the only running PT Boat engine. Check them out, they did mine.

Re: H&H engine re-builders
I have never saw an employee that wanted to do a bad job. They may make mistakes but they are not on purpose. Maybe a disgruntled employee on his way out the door but most people do the best they can.
A friend owns a car repair service. His biggest problem is the customer telling him how and what he has to fix. The customer is usually wrong on what is causing the problem. I can see somebody taking their engine to be rebuilt and telling the builder that only the center main bearing needs to be replaced. Then after the other bearings fail he blames the engine builder. This happens a lot more than faulty workmanship. The mechanic would be smart to not work these types of customers.
