Pretty sure Link send all their Mini engines to a place called C W Engines in Nunawading. It has been a few years since I needed any maching but at the time that is were Bryan was sending his engines for boring etc.

Yes, if you are that close it would be the way to go. Lindsay Seibler is a bit further out at Coldstream and he could point you in the right direction as well.

Dont get me wrong, I buy alot off Lindsay but in this case I figured that he would suggest I take my whole engine out to Coldstream, then to the machinists then home.

Nunawading is much closer!...

Had all this stuff done when my engine was rebuilt 6 months ago. I'll have a dig through and see if I can find where stuff was done but I doubt I have it in detail.
