Need machine shop or?

[Buck531]

I need to have an aluminum plate milled a very small amount. Never had to do anything like this before so does anyone have access to a mill or should I just find a machine shop? Also, before they do anything will they check to see if it is actually warped? It's not a head or anything. Just my intercooler core (some heater core sandwiched in between two aluminum plates.).

I don't have much to offer except that if you get desperate you could try a glass table and some fine sandpaper. Hillbilly as hell, but I hear it has worked for decking heads.

There is a machine shop behind Jims trim that resurfaced my cylinder head Called Randys machine shop. I bet he could do whatever you need.

Yeah I saw a video a long time ago with some billy doing that with a head.

What size is the plate? How much do you need taken off?

It's not very big. Not sure how much I would need taken off. I did put a straight edge on it and it seems fine. I honestly don't know why in the fuck it's not sealing. It was on the buick for 5 years without an issue. I did have to reseal the core when I took it off the buick but it seems like it sealed ok? Not sure if there's a way to pressure test the plates or what not either.

 

This is what I'm talking about the 2" chunk of shit sitting on the motor.
