Default Question about Engine Mods

I have kind of an old Junker Ofna .26 Force engine that has been lying around in pieces, and I am looking for anyone who knows of someone, or a place where I can have it bored, or modded in anyway.

I am also looking for someone who can resize/repinch the piston and liner, and also clean it up and make it like new again.

Any ideas? just looking for something fun to do with this.

Thanks

I use Ray A racing for pinching my sleeves.

IMO Force engines are not worth sending them off and paying some one to mod them, but if you're going to mod it your self then go for it, but I wouldn't spend money to have it modded.

yea, I was mainly wondering if any other place beside Ray A did pinching, etc.

I am interested if anyone has some pics of some self porting jobs done with a dremel....I have rebuilt engines like this before but never attempted a self port job.

Any major things I need to watch out for?

You can buy sleeve pinchers from eBay to suit most engines, you can also use a radiator hose clamp but it will likely oval the sleeve (did to my OS .18) ...

To do the modding yourself just get onto somebody who knows what they are doing, and ask for some details...

Alternatively wade through all the pages of this thread and see some of the stuff people are doing:
