Willard Auto Machine

Chuck is a genius when it comes to any engine machine work. He built a 496 BBC and it is a beast. I read quite a few reviews about Chuck taking a while to complete work. Did anyone care to think that’s because the best engine builders are always busy? If you want it done right, Willard is your guy!!

Chuck was very thorough and explained his process as he progressed. He took a mouse urine froze-up FE 352 and punched it out to a 390 for my 64' Ford Galaxie 500 XL. He had it done in 8 days and on the dyno.

Chuck knows more about 4.6L Ford motors than anyone we've run into in this area. He rebuilt our 32 valve 4.6L motor that we use in our road racing Cobra. It runs like a top. He's busy so it won't be a quick turnaround but if you want it done right, give Chuck a call.

I didn't know who to take my engine blocks to. Through google searches and a handful of phone calls, I decided to go with WAM. (blew head gasket '01 malibu)

He gave me the price up front, over the phone. Clean, resurface, pressure test = $232 ($116 per).

No hassle.
No worry.

I had questions on how to clean and what else could have gone wrong and what I should do to clean what I cannot bring to him. Immediate answers that were correct. I ended up losing a head dowel at home (holds blocks in place) and he gave me one for free; I didn't have to search high and low for a GM metal piece that weighs less than a nickel.

When he was finished he turned my dirty filthy blocks into near mirror quality.

Highly recommend taking your engine to Chuck @ WAM. You will not be disappointed.

Shop wanted $2275 for the whole job.

Current out of pocket for tools, new spark plugs, and his work = a little over $400.

Just need to reassemble the 3.1L 6 cylinder.

Highly recommended.
