After taking my head apart I found a ton of carbon built up and it still has the broze seats and guides. Is there any shop you would recommend to send it to for the head work? I really don't want to trust it to a shop not familiar with the engine. I saw MSA sells rebuilt heads for $460 or something. Would it be worth just buying one of those?

Where are you located? There are many machine shops in the WORLD that can handle the job for you.

Buying one from MSA only makes sense if there isn't a local shop that can do the job for you. Shipping costs will be EXPENSIVE! Remember, you have to pay for the one you buy to be shipped, AND you have to pay for your core to be shipped to them! They ain't light!

I'm in NY, so yea, shipping to CA would be nuts. I know a couple of race drivers so I'll ask one of them where to go. I'll be able to put a cam in it now, MSA doesn't use anything but stock. Thanks.

I'm right down the road from you. I found a couple shops in Batavia that do work. If none of them are any good, let me know the name of the shop you went to. I need the exact same thing done.

I'm using Spinas Engine shop in Ransomville. He mainly deals with race engines and he was recommended by the Nissan dealer. I went to go and check out his work and shop, so far I'm happy. He's been working on my head now, which was pretty bad. I'll let you know how it turns out after I get the seats done.
