machine shop for head work in San Jose area?

[norcal z]

OK, I know Rebello Racling is over in Pacheco, but can anyone recommend a shop closer to San Jose or better yet, on the Peninsula?

I've definitely got a bad head gasket. As I suspected last night when it wouldn't turn over, today I found the #6 cylinder hydro-locked. I'm sure it also has bad valve seals and needs hardened seats installed.

Yes, it would be best to rebuild the entire engine, but I'm not ready to do that yet.

Right now I just want to get the head work completed.

Any suggestions from some of the locals around here would be appreciated.

TIA.

Check with :

Scott Performance

2555 Lafayette St # 104, Santa Clara, CA 95050

Phone: (408) 988-2233

and see who they reccommend. Might also try to find a fellow named Potter (I think it's Dan Potter, but could be wrong) who is a famous Z guru from the South Bay area. He may do head work himself or can point you to the shop he uses. Sorry, but I've lost my contact info on him. Maybe someone else in the club keeps better records than I.

Oh, and Dando's in Fleamont may be able to point you to someone also. www.dandos.com

Good Luck

Thanks, Znut. I'm going to be down that way in a couple of weeks - I'll check them out.

Thanks for the tips, Carl. I'd forgotten about Scott Performance - I actually went there once with a friend who used to have a Z.

Scott Performance has one of the best reputations in the Bay Area. You'll be happy with their work...they are huge Z nuts to boot.

Hubbard machine in Hayward does fantastic work. They built my l-28 and were fair on the price aswell.
