Default Engine Shop Recommendation in Pacific NW

Hello,

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good engine shop in reasonable flying distance from the Seattle Area.

I have an IO360 with an Air Flow Performance Fuel Servo. I get a slight misfire during run up at around 1280 RPM.

We have exhausted all the troubleshooting within our ability - manifold leaks, new plugs, wires, air in fuel line, rebuilt servo etc.

It is time for someone with specific expertise and equipment to take a look.

Thanks,

Avian Flight Service at Bremerton - very professional shop with reasonable rates.

These guys are well regarded around here although I have no experience personally. I will be taking my 360 to them.

Do not use Avian in Bremerton. Their mechanic is good but the owner is not reliable and will not honor price quotes. Personal experience with my IO540 rebuild that took over a year and was several thousand dollars over the quote. More to the story but that should give you an idea of why I say avoid them.
