machining crank in east bay?
Hello,
I'm located in Brentwood, CA and am looking for a reputable machine shop to take my crank to. Someone who knows there way around a Subaru. Thanks!

From what i have read machining the crank is fine and will save me around 150 bucks by not having to buy a new one

I had my crank polished at S&S Automotive in San Leandro. They're a v8 speed shop and gave me minor guff for bringing them a Subaru. They also polished my cams and bored and honed my block. The block didn't turn out so hot so I won't be going back to them unless I buy a Chevy.
However, the polished crank and cams turned out ok and now has 4k miles on it.
The place that built my heads didn't think highly of Eds Crankshaft.
An option I was considering at the time was getting one of the newer Subaru cranks because they are nitrided. There was a thread on them over at Nasioc which I can't seem to find now.
