Machine shop recommendations
« on: June 07, 2010, 09:17:29 PM »
Almost have the heads off the dodge, Can anyone recommend a good, but fairly inexpensive machine shop to have the heads tested for cracks and warpage? maybe even have them cleaned up a bit?

how much would this typically run? I'm on a tight budget.

Thanks in advance!!

You may want to check with Cetus Automotive as their machine shop was blowing old inventory out the door cheap. I believe they wer $50 per head and I think they are rebuilt. They may have Dodge heads still.
If you want to run with the big dogs you have to be able to pee in the tall grass.

PM on here The Machinist.

He owns his own shop doing head work and has done a couple jobs for me(a Cummins diesel and a subaru). Good work, good price.
