Engine Repairs and Reconditioning
 
I will repair any two or four-stroke model engine, glow or gas. I will
also do light machine work if necessary for the repair. Such work as the
following can be done:
 
-Bearing replacement, two or four stroke.
-New piston rings, including cylinder honing.
-Removal of frozen bolts or screws without damage to the engine.
-Complete engine rebuilding to restore performance.
-Damaged engine repair.
-Machining of damaged mating parts if possible.
 
As I have to buy parts at retail just like you do, there is no markup
for parts and I will use yours if you have them (assuming they are
correct). Shipping costs for parts is also a pass-through. Bearings will
come from Boca Bearing, other parts will be ordered from the appropriate
distributor.
 
Labor for any service is $25/hr, including any cleanup necessary prior
to disassembly. A typical two-stroke bearing replacement in an otherwise
good engine will take about an hour or less, including cleaning (you can
save a buck or two by cleaning it up first), plus roughly $12 to $15 for
the bearings. If you are in a hurry I can pick them up at Boca Bearing,
but I’ll charge you $15/hr for my time. Gas is expensive these days. I
will give you a rough estimate after seeing your engine, but you don’t
always know what you’ll find until its apart. If I feel its not
repairable, or parts cost is excessive, I will not attempt the
impossible. Often its cheaper to replace than repair. You will only owe
me for my time to tear it down.
 
As to my qualifications:
Motorcycle mechanic
Foreign car mechanic
Alfa Romeo race engine builder
Prototype auto chassis fabricator
Aircraft builder and mechanic
Civil engineer
Over 50 years messing with model airplanes.

IS YOUR GLOW PLUG HOLE STRIPPED OUT ?
$20. will fix your motor to be stronger than new. 
You must do the cleaning and disassembly and deliver only the clean head to me for machining work. 
If you choose to mail it to me…that’s fine, but add on another $5.00 for me to get it packed and shipped back to you. 
That’s all it takes…and it’s good, it’s cheap and it’s fast. 
One day turnaround, or quicker if you are really in a hurry.
If you are unable to do the disassembly, I can do it for you, but there will be an additional $25. charge for cleaning, disassembling, and reassembly, and the turn around time will be just a little longer.
