Anyone have experience with a machine shop in the area that has cut their head for O ringing? I called a couple places in Mankato and got a long pause followed by a "we don't do that here".

I called Gosh and he said he hasn't had to do it for anyone around here so I don't need it and then followed by saying he doesn't have the tooling for it, but he could do it but be ready to pay for the extra time.
That was a few months ago.

I talked to him recently. He is setup and able to do it. But it is expensive if that's all you getting. If your already getting a bore it's very cheap.

Whats the point? Unless your head/block surface isn't very flat, a MLS should be more than enough.
But, you may be shooting for tractor-pull boost levels.

I've heard of shops in other parts of the country charging about $40 per cylinder.
