Who rebuilds motors in Mi.

[jg480]

A couple of weeks ago I noticed my oil pan is leaking some oil around the rusted drain plug and since I have to pull the motor to fix it, and it has 350hrs. I would like to rebuild or replace it. Can anyone suggest a reputable mechanic in southeast Michigan ?

On eBay, there's a seller called MichiganMotorz, who offers new and used Chevy marine products. I've bought a few components from them and been satisfied. They have a good feedback rating, and their prices seem reasonable.

Contact Jamie Root :)

Bill,

Endorsing Rootsy is a good bet, but what about Tyler? Too Hi-Po.

Another option would be these:

-------Tyler is obviously competent, and a good guy, but getting into his production line might take longer than another builder who can do as good a job. Over the last few years of knowing Jamie and seeing some of the stuff he has done I really think he would be a great choice both on expertise and monatarily as well. Rootsie hasnt had as many magazine articles as Tyler. Get my drift?.........Bill S
