Brian machines billet engine cases and cylinders for the superjet platform. Head over to Dasaracing.com and check out the sweet parts they offer for watercraft among other motorsports.

If you want engine keepers look up blowsion.com or pm steve-uk. Steve is a great guy to deal with and sells air time product's engine keepers which are comparable to the blowsion kenney keepers.

Thanks for the info. I am in school right now to become a machinist. Just looking for a couple simple projects to do at my work.

IMO the toughest of all blue-collar trades. The knowledge required (never ends) , the skill and attention to detail etc...

Seldom rewarded in the form of hourly pay when compared to other trades and /or shop rates.

Maybe I'm thinking in a more "job-shop/tool and die" mentaltiy, but even in a production shop you've got to be sharp.

Maybe grab some parts and reverse engineer them.

You know what they say what we make, makes us.
