Machine Shop in Michigan?
 

Does anyone know of a qualified Machine Shop in Michigan? I'm in the middle of a rebuild on a 1980 3.0l and need machine shop work and hot tanking done.

Thanks,

I'm located in Rochester Hilld, MI. I am in the process to rebuilt my 3.0 SC engine because of 5 broken head studs :(

I have send my camshafts to Doug to regring them with the 964 profile.

I have let my heads to Randy at Autowork in Pontiac. He will do the valve job and resurface the heads. A co-worker of mine has recommended him. He usually do a good job. I will see.

If you want the contact you can PM me, I will be glad to talk with you.

Good luck.

Here is a picture of my engine:

Do you have an address or phone number for Autowork in Pontiac (no listings) and who is Doug (that you sent your cams to)?

Check with Craig and Denny Garrett. (dgarr and cgarr here on pelican). They do VERY nice work.

Dcriss, send me a PM will forward you the contact.

I have seen him today: he will change guides and I have 1 broken spring (intake #1). I order the parts for him.

Doug from DR Camshafts, check his website. Good delay, good price. I haven't received back my camshafts.

Where are you located?

This aafternoon I have removed 2 broken head studs: I have threaded them M8 + Snap on tool + impact wrench + propane torch. Works fine. Thanks Wayne.

Good luck.

I'll second cstreit's recommendation for the Garrett fellas doing your head work. They do an outstanding job and get them done in a timely fashion for you. Denny and Craig and great fellas.

If you dont mind shipping your parts out, I sent all my machine work to Troy at EBS (Reno, NV), and they did a phenominal job. Not only was the work top notch, he also made sure it was done in a timely manner

Hi Guys,

I did a Google search for Craig and Denny Garrett to see how close they were to me to get some machine work done (per suggestions), and found this: (hmm....)

Wayland - Police believe two members of a Kent County family were drunk while racing their Porsches over the weekend, and were fortunate not to kill a West Michigan couple.

Investigators say the sports cars were headed north on U.S. 131 Saturday night in Allegan County when one crashed into a third car near 146th Avenue.

Police believe the Porsches were going 130 miles per hour.

The Porsche driver involved in the collision, 47-year old Craig Garrett, was also arrested for child endangerment since his 15-year old son was also in the vehicle.

The third car, carrying a husband and wife, flipped over four times and was totaled.

The couple have been released from the hospital.
