I was experiencing some head gasket issues in my 4.7L Dakota and decided to take the heads off to get a good look at the issue. Turns out something got into the number eight cylinder and scored the cylinder walls. I pulled the motor, broke it down, and scoured my area for machine shops available to perform the work. I quickly found out that everybody was buried in work and months out from accepting new jobs. However, after reaching out to Mike at AAM, he said he'd love to fit me in with a one-off job. I brought him the disassembled block (with bed plate, no crankshaft) and the cylinder heads for some boring / honing of the cylinders and cutting of the mating surfaces (block deck and cylinder heads). He was able to hang my new pistons on my old rods (he even discovered one was bent and managed to replace it with a known good one), perform a quick lap job on some valves, and get everything back to me in about five weeks. Even after the job was completed, Mike was gracious enough with his time to answer a few questions regarding ring gaps and even recommended Heads Up Inc in Auburn to repair a damaged bolt hole in the driver side cylinder head.This was my first engine rebuild and it was a blast. Mike and his team were easy to work with, incredibly knowledgeable, quick, and more than gracious with their time. I know a bit about engine building theory, but Mike was available to answer any questions I had regarding parts and quell my fears that cropped up relating to ring gaps. Most importantly, I chose Mike because of his willingness to go through and answer most (if not all) of the review comments, including those that appeared to have been made by people that weren't customers. That went a long way with me. Furthermore, the discussion we had regarding what needed to be done with the block lined up exactly with what I was expecting. His demeanor and tone were easy-going and reassuring. I suspect he would have performed the same great quality of work regardless of whether I knew what I was doing or not. The next engine I decide to rebuild will absolutely be brought to Mike and his team at AAM. I can't say enough good things about them or the work that they performed. Thanks again, Mike!Services: Engine repair

$350 to deck a block and chamfer the bore feels a little high on pricing, but the quality was good. Mike is nice and professional. Their shop is busy.

Five stars because they clearly do good work but have a couple fake bad reviews that Google should remove. I will be stopping by later to drop some parts off. Thank you!

Great machine shop to do business with. It's hard to find people who know what they are doing and what they are talking about these days when it comes to critical engine work. The owner is very easy to work with, very knowledgeable and his employees are friendly and do a great job. I'm very happy with the work they did on my Ford 390 FE and will be back for future projects.

I came in with a cylinder from my PWC that needed honing for a top end rebuild. Though I knew what I wanted to do but Mike steered me in the proper direction to make sure that honing vs. piston selection matched. Clean, well managed shop, with an Owner that understands customer service. Thanks Guys.

Super knowledgeable, had some issues with another machine shop in the past so was a bit weary but had this place recommended by a couple trusted friends. No regrets, they did some block machine work and balancing for me, everything came out perfect to the exact clearances I was looking for. Will be using them for all of my future builds.

Mike, and his employees are the greatest. The reason his employees are great is because Mike takes care of his employees, and Mike has enough knowledge to be able to show and coach his employees through a process they may be new at. I had a DZ302 motor stolen out of my shop, and through sheer luck found it almost three years later. After i picked it up the next day i dropped it off at AAM. Then i forgot it was there and Mike never said anything, like when are we going to build your motor. He is more then a businessman, and treats his customers like best friends. There is never and pressure and Mike is honest, and his prices are good. His employees are also very friendly towards their customers and you feel like your hanging out with best friends. Mike built the 302 with a few modifications that i requested like 3/8th pushrods instead of the stock 5/16th, and 7/16th studs on the heads for the valve train instead of the stock 3/8th. Several other tasks were done and the result is a motor that i had tested and got 457hp at the rear wheels. I have over 700 miles on the motor as in Arizona i don’t drive it in the late spring to early fall because of the heat. Mike was always available to answer questions when i was installing the motor. The result is, it doesn’t burn any oil or use any. He told me how to drive it to break it in and for how many miles which i followed to the letter. I also had him do a bronco motor as well. If i ever need another motor to be built, i will pay to have it shipped to AAM from Arizona, because out of the several shops here none come close in cost, knowledge and customer service, before, during and after any work is done. They are the best of the best.
