I have a 565 BBC I'm assembling. Includes all pretty nice pieces. Recommendations on a shop to perform the balance job only, on Vancouver Island or the lower Mainland would be great.
Thank you. Wayne |

Unfortunately I can not offer a recommendation to you. I imagine things in your area are likely similar to here in Ontario where numerous automotive machine shops have closed.
Sad state of affairs really ! |

Winnipeg is quite a haul for you but Ken’s Kustom did my motor and very pleased. Some locals probably will offer closer places.

Yes...I've checked plenty of them. I've been met with some issues. Some guys really have an attitude. One shop owner told me: "I can be rude. I don't need your business....we're too busy right now.". Nice. There was some other things with another shop but I don't want to get into it right now.
Interesting part is, what happens to these shops when they aren't busy? |
