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)?

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....) http://www.bigrapidsdailynews.com/newsarchive.asp Man Senteced After Drag Race On US-131 (POSTED: 8/16/2006) He will spend a week in jail. Dennis Garrett will spend six-days in jail for racing his Porsche down U.S.-131 while drunk in April. The 50-year-old Garrett pleaded no contest to charges that he was racing his brother in his Porsche at over 130-miles-per-hour. Garrett hit another car causing it to flip several times. Brothers Face A Judge For Drag Racing (POSTED: 5/24/2006) The men were busted last month for racing on 131. Two-brothers who crashed their Porsches while drag racing were in court yesterday. Craig and Dennis Garrett crashed their cars back in April after exceeding speeds of 130-miles-per-hour. Craig Garrett faces felony drunk driving charges and Dennis pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of failing to stop for an accident. Two Brothers Face Drag Racing Charges (POSTED: 4/6/2006) The two were caught drag racing on US-131 this weekend. Two Kent County brothers who were drag racing their Porsches’ down US-131 on Saturday will be charged. Forty-seven-year-old Craig Garrett and 50-year-old Dennis Garrett have been charged with felonious driving, reckless driving and operating a vehicle while intoxicated. and: http://www.wzzm13.com/news/local/grmetro_article.aspx?storyid=52359 Racing, alcohol blamed for Porsche accident on U.S. 131 Created: 4/3/2006 6:10:47 PM Updated: 4/3/2006 6:56:56 PM 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.
