There is a Swedish saying called "dumsnål" that translates into "stupid-cheap" considering how much i already spent on the car saving a few $ in machining costs is prob a stupid thing to do? Can anyone recommend a good shop?

I have had my magnesium case done at very capable machine shop used by a lot of Porsche specialists. It was around €4500 including ultrasonic cleaning, machining case halves and center-boring main and IMS bearings to original size, case savers, magnaflux inspection and super-finishing of the crankshaft and cams, re-bushing the drive-shafts, cleaning and checking both the cam-housing incl. checking rocker-shafts and rockers and the full refurbishment of the the heads. So basically the complete package. This guy removes all oil plugs to clean everything and has replaced them with threaded ones.
So quality doesn't come cheap.
