Machine shop recommend? - cylinder head

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

long story short: my car was running like crap and bank 1 was misfiring

dug into it, bank 1 was out time, no bent valves

headgasket looked blown between a water jacket and cylinder but only ever so slightly

but I still wanna check trueness and compression

please recommend me a machine shop. I would prefer something on the west side of town hopefully. Plain City? Dublin? Powell? I think those locations are longshots.

 

I know Performance Research in Westerville is very good but they are a little bit spendy. They've done work for me before and I was extremely pleased with the turnaround, quality, and the awesome customer's truck that was outside the shop when I went to pick up my last job for them.

I dont like dirty machine shops, shit gets lost in dirty/unorganized shops.

 

 

They put together a Buick 455 for a friend of mine a few years back and some how they managed to put all the pistons in backwards. :yuno:

 

I can see where/why that's a concern for you.

 

Sometimes, that's part of the madness of some people. Organized chaos, if you will call it so.

But in the grand scheme of things, that's a fairly minor quip

 

 

 

I think my mind is made up for M&M

thanks CR :) I honestly appreciate the guidance

I mean $110/head for pressure checking, crack checking, checking trueness and then actually miling and some cleaning? Yes, please

 

 

Thanks CR!

M&M just rebuilt my LSx 416 stroker.

 

So far no issues and it starts!!! Reasonably priced, the timeframe could have been a little quicker-some of that was my fault for ordering the wrong piston rings 3 times (he had it for a month before he discovered they were wrong)
