Avoid. I live west of bypass, south of Chesnut like OP mentioned and it’s great. However, East of Bypass is not a great area. Old, tiny houses with underserved neighborhoods. There’s also been several shootings in that area between “gangs” (I use that term very, very loosely. It’s more like idiot teenagers who think they are in gangs.).

I haven't gotten that far into it yet so I'm not to sure. But I would say if you wanted something where your involved with everything down to the specifics you'll probably want to go to a customs shop and not just a generic machine shop but I'm sure you could do it either way

I've got a 2000 Honda Civic with a D16Y7 in it that is going to need a rebuild soon. I want to do it myself, but I've never rebuilt an automotive engine, but I'm pretty handy. Do you just take the case, rods, and crankshaft to the machine shop and have them machine them? Will they tell you how much they took off to fit specific bearings? Do you have to do your own measurements with micrometers and tell them how much to take off to fit the bearings you already bought? How do they/you find out what bearings are available? If they take material off the crank journals, do you have to buy new rods, or do the rods have bearings in them? I mostly just wonder who's in charge of making machining decisions. Does the machine shop do that, or do you have to make the decisions and tell them exactly what to do?
