Recomended Machine Shops for 911 Valve Job
I am looking for a great machine shop for a 911 valve job, guide replacement, etc. I am on the east coast (Philly) but will ship my heads anywhere for a top quality job. Thanks for any recomendations.

Chris, what experience have you had with Atlantic? I have never heard of them, would be interested in their history.

I sent mine to John Walker's Workshop in Washington State. EXCELLENT person, price well within reason, EXCELLENT work. JW is highly respected in the 911 community for a good reason!!!

Ollie's is good as well, but not involved in our online community, as are Steve Weiner and John Walker. I think their helpfulness deserves some recognition.

I know that Competition Engineering doesn't return phone calls. Not a good sign!

EBS (Engine Builder's Supply) in Nevada is good.

A local machine shop used by a local and trusted independent Porsche shop quoted me $105/head plus parts as required. Is this reasonable?

I was recently quoted $650 including the guides, cleaning, beading and sizing & machining and setting springs +parts. So....105 seems right in line with others.
They also suggested about $480 for twin plug so I'm pretty sure I'll have that added.

I'll second EBS. Their website http://www.ebsracing.com/ used to have a lot of service pricing but I see they've changed it.

I sent mine to Henry Schmidt at SUPERTEC PERFORMANCE and could not have been happier. $350 plus shipping. They look better than new.
