norcal z Posted October 14, 2002 Share #1 Posted October 14, 2002 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bambikiller240 Posted January 4, 2003 Share #3 Posted January 4, 2003 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
