I ended up driving to Procell in Orange, Tx. for my work. I tried Automotive Machine Shop in Baytown on another project but didn't care for their work or timing.

I called the headshop right outside Pasadena for a quote on my rebuild and got a very nice quote and they were recommended on here. Price was very nice.

Usually when a machine shop says one week, its really 2-3 weeks. Tomorrow means 2-3 days. It never fails.
