EBR is in you back yard in League City.

JM is about 45 miles north.

David Espinosa does great work on the side under ESPY Motorsports.

Javier Cantu owns LSR (Lone Star Racing) and builds lots of local race engines.

Tommy King in Conroe has build building engines and other repairs from his home garage in Conroe for decades.

I have used all of them in the past with good results.

Stay away from TH Racing if they are even doing MX stuff anymore. Unless of course you want to pay for parts you don't get and complete hackjob engine work...

Go read.

If telling potential customers to "kick rocks" and "you're just mad I didn't build your engine" is the way he presents himself and does business, he can GFH.

Dude's a clown.
May be a clown per Vitards but he knows his way around and engine. Guys like him need to learn to say no to janky rebuild jobs & stick to performance work. Plenty of high end builders act the same way just not on the interwebs, per se'. This forum is lessor for lack of his input....

His insight and data was very informative on the forum to the experienced and the newbies wanting to learn about the engines and shortcoming of bikes and what helped wake the bikes up. You don’t have to like the person to respect their knowledge.

Agreed. Funny, you think a poster who is a "Moderator" (MAVERICK) would understand that. But sadly drama sells over knowledge I guess.........
