Stan, as you may have surmised, Mike is a bit of an odd duck. I have the luxury of only being 45 minutes away, and while I forget who gave me the hint, it turned out to be a valuable one; Take them there, and wait for them. In a few cases, I've gone into town and had a cup of coffee, and come right back. He's not so good in the communications department, and despite carrying his house phone in his pocket, he never answers after 8 AM.
I was very unhappy with what I ended up with on the last set, and his answer was that my bore gauge must be off. I figure if I ever work with him again, I'll just tell him how much to take out, not what the final measurement I wanted.
I honestly think he's good, but a little awkward to talk to.
