Machine shop in Vancouver area

Hello. I’m rebuilding my ’81 SC and looking for a shop to rebush my conrods and rocker arms, and resize the conrod big ends back to spec.

Before I go through the trouble of sending the parts to the States, does anyone know of a good local shop in Vancouver area, BC they’d recommend?

The last thread I could find on this is nearly 20 years old. Back then, people recommended High Performance Engines in Burnaby, but it seems they now only take work from shops, not individuals.

Thanks

Not sure how much machine work John Walker does, or Al Ikosmal, but they are near you in Washington state, which would be a day drive for you.
