Default Looking for reputable machine shop

Like title says I need a machine shop that is very good with ls1's. I need the shop to install cam bearings then flycut my pistons the right way and have a reasonable turn around time, pricing and be near York pa if possible. If not a sponsor please pm me I am on a time crunch. Thanks

There should be no reason to fly cut pistons with the cam technology out today.

I'll be contacting a_vas about my needs. Fran I'm flycutting since I'm running an ms4 with heads that have been milled to 60 cc's. I'd rather be safe. No disrespect intended and not trying to start a fight just doing what both tsp and comp said i should do with that cam/head package.

Understand... You could always measure to be safe... just need .080 and you will be good.
