Engine rebuilder

[steve welder]

Just planning ahead. My CJ2A will get a complete teardown starting this fall or maybe earlier....The engine is already 60 over, if it need a rebore I want to sleeve it. Either way im having it rebuilt. Whose the most competent Willys engine rebuilder who would do my engine? Thanks

Steve, you want to look around your area for an automotive machine shop that that has been around for a while. A machine shop that also assembles the engine is a good way to go. You want to find one that is familiar with the Willys/Continental 134's. The engines were in a few things and most of the older shops will be familiar with them. If you just cant find one there are a few places you could ship it to. Shipping can get expensive however. I drive an hour and a half one way to my machinist. He is very good. He receives engines of all types from all over the world. There are a few high end shops in the USA that can do it for you. If you search the forum on this topic this has come up a few times. A few different solutions.
