well, i figured there wasn't a point in starting a NEW thread just to say the same thing, so ...
i met with Jonathan (Goopy) last Friday and brought him a pair of REW housings that have seen better days. i probably could have used them as they were, but i figured i'd have him resurface them so i could see it all for myself. i need them for a build right now and figured with resurfacing, they could give me a little more time before the engine has to come apart again. the rear housing was a little more beat up than the front, but he checked them out and told me he could get them done by Tuesday. i got a call (registered at around 0900) from him Tuesday morning saying they were complete and i could pick them up.
bottomline ... they came out awesome! they were worth every penny and i would recommend him to anyone in the rotary world. we talked for a bit and i can tell this guys knows his shit! not only that, but he showed me a few ideas that he came up with for all sorts of problems that come about - real, simple, and effective solutions that blew my mind with their simplicity and ingenuity. this guy oozes passion for rotaries and he's friendly (this is coming from a guy that doesn't have many friends and is not too friendly
).
anyway, long-story, short ... Goopy Performance is truly a breath of fresh air and i will gladly go back in the future whenever needs above my skill-level arise.

by the way, i'll try to post some photos of the housings before and after. i will also try to see if i can get some compression numbers when it's running, too. i plan to make a thread for this particular engine build when i get the time, so i may not post them here, but rather maybe a link.
