Head/machine shop to look at a bad head. I have a head that was leaking oil on the #5 cylinder down in the chamber causing the head to smoke. I wanted to get the head checked out and see if it's fixable etc (not valve seals or anything like that. Either spring pocket got ported into or something along those lines) Just looking at suggestions of who to take it to.
Thanks,
Nate.
Thanks,

Mike Smith is in north fort worth off I35, i wouldn't have them do any work for me ever, but if you just need it checked out to make sure its true then they could surely take care of that.

Mark...i work right next to MSMS and i've met many people with stories about how they fucked ports up, lost power with msms ported heads, and many several that had failures due to poor attention to detail.
