Evening all,

For my winter project I'm rebuilding the 2.0 in my '74. The whole motor is torn down, case split, everything solvent tanked, and the plan for a mild hot rod is made. But I'm running into problems finding a reliable head rebuilder who knows these heads and will do them justice. The previous owner bollocksed up the heads by grinding the valves and guides down too far and also put rusty valve springs back in the heads. Before I bought the car last year, the intake valve spring on the #4 cylinder broke causing the rocker to shear, pushing the valve into the cylinder bending the valve and dinging the cylinder. New springs, rockers, cylinders/pistons are in the works so no worries there. But the intake guide was pushed into the head causing cracking around the seat. (Photos included)

In short: I need a company (or a shop) that knows what they're doing. New guides and valves, polished ports, etc. And to find out if they can repair the cracked head or if i need a new casting. Both heads need rebuilding but this is the one I'm worried about.

Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated because without heads I'm going nowhere fast (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) and I'd like to be on the road by late spring.

Best,
Chris
