Dudley, West mids

Hi again folks. Does anyone know of a engine machining company near dudley in the west mids that can bore out my block. I've tried a few local engine centres round by where I live but they all give me roughly the same price for what I want done. Thought I'd ask you guys as one of you may of had a bargin price off another company close by me.

Do these prices look any good or can I get cheaper.

Block surface grind £30
Bored +20" and honed x4 bores £80
Piston to con rod fitting £12.50 per piston
Cylinder head unleaded conversion £130

Any advice would be fab!!! *happy*

Prices seem to be about right.

My mate used to work there.:) He polished and bead blasted my con rods and fitted them to my pistons for free. Those are the prices I like. *happy*
