I'm looking to get the engine rebuilt in our '30 Essex and need some recommendations. We had what appears bad lubrication to the rear of the engine and had a rod bearing melt out and who knows what else. I'm hoping someone has some ideas of who can rebuild this type of engine in eastern PA, NJ, that area. I really don't want to ship it if I don't have to. But all recommendations are appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks for all the names. I have spoken to Mike Gajdek and unfortunately he is booked up for the next year or so. I'll make some more calls.
