Default port and polish

Wondering if there is a good reputable machine shop around central FL to trust a type r cylinder head with? I am looking for some of your opinions.
Thanks

Actually I have a total b18c5 engine. I bought a type r with that engine pretty cheap (needs rebuilt). I put a hmotorsonline engine in it. That runs great but uses more oil than I would like it to. I was going to build that head and replace the rings on the pistons in that engine that is in the car now. I was going to put the ported and polished head on it.

Last time I talk to the people at TitanMotorsport, they told me to go to Florida Performance Machine Shop in Sanford. I'm not sure if they do good p&p, but they have pretty good machines to do valve jobs and such.

If the motors a type R the head should have a slight p/p from the factory anyways unless you want to go more agressive!!!

Leave your head alone.
Send it to clearwater cylinder head & have them do a valve job & valve seal replacment. Have them inspec all your retainers for damage while they have your head.

If you insist on a p&p job, contact Tom at Portflow at portflow.com
They are the shit, you get what you pay for.
