Who do you know (that you trust) that does head porting locally? I'm yanking the head off my evo to replace the headgasket, and I'm looking for a 5-angle valve job, check/machine the bottom for flatness, and port/polish the runners. I have a quote from Bob @ MAP but am just checking to see if anyone has anyone else they might recommend.

I had John Gosh check for flatness last time, anyone know if he does valve jobs too?

I've always had a positive experience with the Red Rooster in Crystal, although they do get a little spendy.

Norther Cylinder Head in Andover has great prices, but I'd steer away from them because they seem to be a classic case of getting what you paid for.

I haven't had stuff done at headwerks, but I know someone who did, and I went with him to drop it off and the place was very clean, plus I think that's all they do there. And that's the type of place I'd take something like that.

Holy fuk, I haven't had a head rebuilt, but 500 bucks sounds like a little much!!
