Good Machine Shop?

sleepydsm · 08-05-2005

Any one have experience with a good machine shop? Any one heard of any good ones? I am asking because I want someone honest to take a look at my head, and check if I need a basic valve job. No bent valves, but the head has 142k on it. And I'm losing compression throught the head. The exhaust valves are like pure white. Thanks!

haha, I already called there before I saw this post. My friends recommended him, and he seems friendly and knowledgeble. Very important things to me, as well as quality of work which I've heard and seen is top notch. So. Off the head goes to John Gosh.

Napa can do a pressure test. I had the napa in st louis park off loisiana do one on mine before a rebuild. I am pretty sure it cost $45 and they told me what was wrong with it.

I am pretty sure milling the head flat is $40 if you take the cams out also since it looks like you want that done also.
