Default TEA Stage 2 Heads

I have been trying to contact TEA about porting a set of 243s i have. the thing is these have been milled .030" and have had a some pocket porting done by hand already. Id like to know if they can still run a cnc program on them. I have tried calling many times but to no avail. no one answers. does anyone know the answer to my question or better yet have another more direct number that i could call?

I have tried emailing as well and no answer. Im starting to think i should take my business elsewhere which I would regret since I really think they do the best 243 porting work.

You should be able to get it ported. I've seen others have ported heads, reported. Sometimes you end up with bigger than the TEA port if the previous port touched areas their CNC doesn't...

They are hard to get a hold of sometimes and can be difficult to deal with. Price you pay for good work I guess.

I've never had an issue getting Mike. Maybe I was talking to him in the racing offseason. I dunno.
