BC Canada honorable engine builder?

[Saul Good]

I would appreciate any advice; on an engine builder, for an early Evo, in British Columbia.

Nothing exotic: S&S early Evo cases, ..546 or .560 cam & rods - Jims 89" flywheels - need the stock heads modified for 'spirited' street performance - cylinders re-bored - engine trued and balanced - appropriate pistons for a NX 30 shot of nos

I simply don't have the skills, or tools, for the bottom end. I've found two shops I can recommend staying away from, but I'm having trouble finding a good one. A local chap (named Jim H.) is highly regarded, but H's Place is too busy (with racing) during this time of year.

The engine being disassembled makes for difficult shipping. And border charges can be dear. Some place within driving distance of Kamloops, with a month turn around time on the engine, would be ideal. Will split up the top end, and bottom end work, if required.

All area shop advice, pro or con, would be greatly appreciated.

Hope you're feeling Spring where you are. Not feeling it here yet.

The people up at Smithers HD could be who your looking for.My brother
had them do some performance upgrades on an evo and its still running
strong 40k later.

Jim Hoye is my first choice. Stellar reputation and a nice guy to deal with. Trouble is he's real busy this time of year. Once he smells the racing fuel, you're waiting until winter. Even February is a little late to get in touch.

Got a guy here now, formerly from Smithers, who really made a mess of the bike. The main reason the bike is so daunting now. 'Krazy', you might say.

Think I'll leave the 89" Jims flywheels build for the winter, and just put the stock guts back in. It will be tired, but it will start, and I just can't afford another hack job like the two other local shops have done. Just hate the one step forward, two steps back approach. But I will be riding, instead of moping.

Thanks eh, & I hope spring finds you running well, and soon!
