Stick around. The fellas here will hook you up.
Let us know what you need done for your engine. As some machine shops are more capable than others. And tell us what you are building. A bus a bug etc. And try the search function if you need specifics. There is more data on this BBS that you can possibly imagine. And welcome new guy..!!!!!!!!!!!! Clayton |

Cool!
Seriously you might try Adrian at headflow Masters in Vista- He did hundreds of pairs of heads for me and still would be if he wanted to advance development.. Other than that you are pretty much outta luck in So cal I'd say. I have seen heads from reputable shops tjhere that had cracks visible from 20 feet away in the chambers and they didn't even attempt to repair them or tell the customer! |
