GW builds their engines in-house.  Been there... seen it.

The machine work, however, is subbed out.

Cheers,

Gowestys "in house", extends over many state and county lines.....

I do know they've used several engine builders. I don't know gex to be one
of them.
Their engines are quite a bit more then just "bored out", but in my opinion,
still have plenty of quality control issues, product development issues, and
a terrible warranty program that is well documented.

I love many of their things, Their higher displacement engines are not one
of them.
Id run a 2.2 or 2.3 of theirs though.

advertised by GEX have the same displacement as the original, at least for
the 2.1 engines.  If GEX rebuilds for GoWesty, wow, GoWesty's profit margin
is even greater than I imagined.
