Cylinder head resurface - who?

[ShawnO]

Trying to get a car put together for the season and looks like the head is warped. Who can I trust in town to resurface / shave the aluminum head?

Thanks!!!

Give Peter Prinsloo a call (www.autoheadperformance.com/), he's in the Moody area. He's a former race mechanic (a Woking-based team...) and an good guy. He does cylinder head work for a lot of foreign dealerships and repair shops.

+1 on Peter and you can also trust Donnie at engine rebuilders in Trussville. two oh five -sixx five five-three seven seven seven. He has done many jobs for me and Ive yet to have a problem.

Wow, I couldn't find one and there is at least 2. Thanks for your help! Got the head yanked last night and am watching my still grease stained hands type on the keyboard. Let's see...1,2,3,4 small red cuts. I always bleed at least once. lol

thanks again....

Don't forget Cylinder Head Service in Bessemer. They did good work for me with the BMW.

I used CHS (Johny and Greg) for a long time with great service then they started getting sloppy ...i.e. torn valve seals on more than one head with no offer to make it right ....a head that came back to me with a crack in the exhaust port on a Subaru ( found this out after reinstallation)that cost me a customer ...poor turn around time ( a week sometimes).

Based on my past experience ....I would hesitate to use Cylinder Head Service. I decided after ,several embarrassing situations,that I didn't need the extra practice pulling cylinder heads twice when I paid for pressure testing and top notch work only to discover that I got shortcuts and half you know what work.

I stopped using them a couple years ago ...they might have gotten their game back since then but Im just saying ...be careful with them.
