Guys I need to know where there a good shop that can do my head for me. It needs a valve job and some minor work. Most of the ones I have spoken with aren't to familar with the 2.3t or deal much with turbo cars in general. I would like to find a shop that knows a thing or 2 about forced induction cars.

Also any people to avoid?

 

Just get the Esslinger head.

Dave would be a good person to talk to. Michael was also telling me there is a guy up in Spring Hill or somewhere around there who specializes in building 2.3's for sand rails. May be a good shop to look into.

I know Scott will chime in with the contact info for the infamous Brandon. He was willing to fiddle with my Zetec head back in the day, so I imagine he will work on practically anything.

 

If you are in the Hudson, Spring Hill area, Mark's Machine Shop on SR 52 in Hudson.

 

I also vot e for Tom and TJ at Amtex, they definetly know there stuff. great guys to deal with, and wont steer you wrong. They did all my machine work.

 

The head is already ported and what not I just need a couple of valves put in it. I would like to find someone who can check and make sure the geometry is all correct and will alert me to any potential problems.

 

Hey Plazma,

Are you the guy that I met at the resturant on 60? I stopped by there with two other Stangs and the Buick.

If so, glad to see you here.

If not, ooopps....

 

Oldman,
That would be me. I wish I had stepped outside to actually see your group of cars but i was trying to finish my work for the day.

My stand alone got some extra voltage thanks to a short and the shut 2 injectors down. In short I broke the number 2 piston and peices of it hit the valves. I just want some good oversized valves to put in that cylinder and a good looking over of my other valves and springs. I hope to have it back together in 2 weeks or so. It would be faster but i'm poor.
