Message	I just went through a huge mess with another shop in my area and ended up going to Opel and I must say they are top notch. I heard great things about them but after working with them I wouldn't go any place else. Plus if you want to be there step by step they would be happy to let you, Ted the owner is great, Sandy plus everyone else who was there. They finished 2 weeks ahead of time and I was a week late getting them everything. One thing I did learn from Ted the owner was the Torque Plate is great for some motors but not for ours, something to do with the way it bores the motor.. Don't ask me I'm just the guy who writes the check but he did explain it in detail. They use an old head that they customized to bore our blocks with and according to them the measurements work out better than a torque plate. Anyway great place, HIGHLY recommended.
