King Balancing Service

i had my heads crank and block done by these guys. they dont bull shit you at all they helped me with every thing. this was my first time ever rebuilding a engine and they took me in the back to show me what was bad on my heads then told me my options. i had a friend with me that has been working on engines for years to make sure i was not going be dicked around or be sold something i didnt. john never try selling me something i didnt need or dick me around. he broke down the kit i was getting to show me i was getting a good deal and i was. would of cost me lot more to buy it from anyones else.

Long story short: john /​crew at «King» balancing «built» an import motor for me. Supposed to be a knife edged crank was more like a dull butter knife. asked them to balance and blue print the engine and that wasnt done but charged me for it. The head was supposed to be ported and polished «full race» was more like They cleaned up casting lines and didnt open anything up also Valves were not seated at all and so some of valves held no vacuum at all. cam caps were wrong so the engine didnt rotate it was locked up. took the engine to another shop and found the shims used to degree my hks full race cams were pieces of flat tin that they cut with wire cutters or tin snips to fit and obviosly they were not the correct shim and not the rite thickness. The head had to be junked and i had to have a new head rebuilt the rite way ($ 1200.00 down the drain plus $ 1500.00 for new head built correctly) They wont return my phone calls but that doesnt matter because john told me he does not warranty their work. KING BALANCING IS A FRAUD imo!

This is the worst machine shop to go to. I went there to get my 350 crank polished and balanced, well they polished and balanced it BUT, they did a half a**ed job leaving nicks on main journals and rod journals. And they took a grinder to the crank shaft counter weights and grinded the crap out of them to «balance» it.
The owner is cranky and rude and says if his shop breaks it, its not his fault and won’t take responsibility for any parts that are broken. Anything you say, he says is the wrong way and there is only one way to do things and its his way.
Not only do they have crappy customer service, but they do horrible work… FAIL
