Hello, Jon here. I am hiring full and part time help in the shop. On the job training, I’d like some shop experience obviously, but if you are brand new, I can train you how to wash parts and use the glass bead machine for starters. It’s a dirty job cleaning blocks and heads, but it’s very important. I’ll even show you how to pressure test and do crack detection. Maybe even assemble some valves in a cylinder head. All this stuff is super simple it’s just honest hard work. I am willing to pay good money for good help. We have a great customer base, workflow, and I want to process more jobs here at the shop. We have a whole separate division called www.SubieMachine.com which is jammin with Subaru blocks and heads. I am also building all the crate engines for www.SynergyEngines.com which has become a magnet for Toyota 7MGTE and Nissan VQ37 builds. I’m having to turn builds down 🤷‍♂️.

You want to be around this performance engine stuff I’m your guy, I can get your career started.

PS I just picked up a massive shot blast machine that will process big blocks. I also picked up a decent seat and guide machine (DCM Tech) which is completely tooled out with Performance CBN everything and anything we want. So if your a cylinder head rock star you can book some hours doing seat pockets, guides, etc the tooling is here. ( thats a big deal 🤗)

Shot Blast Basket INSIDE dimension 34”x28”. When removed we have over a 4 feet capacity in this machine. That means with a forklift, it should fit Cummins blocks too. This is the spare basket that came with the machine. The inside of the machine is rust free, I’ll have to give a walk around video of it shortly.

We acquired a Shot Blaster by the grace of God. FITS BIG BLOCKS. My elbows are warn out with the amount of glass bead I have been doing since startup. This really has been missing from our shop equipment lineup ever since our AMMCO system. We should be able to blast blocks and heads w/o stopping now, and actually be able to do jobs fast enough to make some decent time. When half of job was cleaning and glass beading by hand, it really took the joy out of engine machining. With this machine I just have to bake the blocks dry, then get it the machine and hit go. The blaster will do a great job and Kalamazoo really needs it right now. We are also hiring and talking applications, I need a helper, there is plenty of work, and our surfacer is putting out low RA finishes in record time. It’s best to just call me, I answer the shop religiously or even just text the shop number. 269-282-8067
