Reconditioning Cyl Head

Well ... it is getting to be time for a T belt / tensioner and a water pump. My thought was while I was in there to replace the head gasket b/c has been leaking oil down the side of the block for many miles. Will do the cam seal at the same time.

My Q: has anybody liked / been pleased with the machine shop where they sent / bought a cylinder head for reconditioning? Any good experiences? I know of several shops in the Porsche world (Competition Engineering, Ollies, EBS) are there comparable shops for the venerable M20 motor?

Any good experiences with Metric Mechanic, Bav Engine Exchange, etc...? I don't mind shipping to the left coast but would prefer something along the east coast.

Thanks.

Jason

I use Engine Machine Service on Osage in Culver City, CA.

They know these heads. I have nothing but praise for them and highly reccommend them. They also did all the machine work on my M20 rebuild.
