Default Recommendations: SoCal head port/polish/mill

Can anyone recommend a company in SoCal that can port, polish, and mill heads? I would prefer first-hand experiences but anything will do.

Thanks in advance.

Another vote for West Coast Cylinder Heads. I got my heads from them. Their prices are really reasonable and good thing is they make the power that you want. Call them and talk to Richard.

WCCH is top notch and highly recommended. I have worked with Richard a lot and always been more than satisfied with the whole experience.

Just to let you all know our 6.0 PhaseIII heads flow in excess of 340cfm through a 218-220cc runner, the air velocity is near 500FPS and they make HUGE power with the right combo. We have many engines that have topped 570WHP N/A with hydraulic cams and 91 octane gas, you don't make that kind of power on pump gas without good heads. If it is of any concern one of these engines was shipped all the way to Kuwait. I figure they did their homework before ordering an engine from the other side of the world...

Thats good to know that their is another machine shop in So. Cali. who also do good cylinder heads.

Thread asked about first hand experince. I and others were sharing first hand experince. Richard has always done more than what I asked for. Customers who have used your shop will give us the postive feedback.

Harry you're not entitled to call anybody out. You're a dyke. I've witnessed you claim your bored 6.0L motor was just "heads and cam" on more than one occasion, and if I remember correctly, I was going quicker with a TRUE heads and cam car with Race-Prep heads. Then again, you couldn't drive that car to save yourself, so that may have been part of your problem.

That was then, let’s talk about now. I'll claim what I want to claim. You went .2 tents quicker, so what. Well since then you got that big *** cube in your car and your only doing 11.3's from 11.5's. So all that work for .2? Difference between your motor and my motor from back in the days, you spun a rod bearing after couple of months but I enjoyed every bit of my motor. I saved the rod bearings for you, let me know when you spin another.

Why can’t you be a man and challenge another LS1, don’t you got ***** or have grown some.

By the way it’s been over 3 yrs already. I am sure you went through puberty, no need for name calling. You are a man, (maybe) so talk like one.

I am not from Palm Springs. I am from Venice Beach. Why do we know each other?

Here's an idea Harry, let's race my M6 car against your A3 car, with completely different setups. That will tell us who the best head porter is. I would be willing to bet that my 3-year old Race-Prep heads would make power over your current heads on YOUR setup. And likewise I'm confident your heads would produce unfavorable results on my setup if compared with my heads.

Seriously, you're a keyboard warrior who knows just enough English to start **** on the internet. When confronted face to face you turn into a cowering ninny. You give yourself too much credit by suggesting that I have beef with you.

Who gives a **** what it dyno's. Any day M6 will dyno over Auto w/similar set-up. I am not into numbers that’s for advertisement. How would you even know what heads I have?

I have never met you. You might of been in a crowd with I had no idea who you were. I don’t even know what you look like.

So you think I am key board racer huh? Your probably to young to the past remember, when I called you numerous times you wouldn't meet me. My friend even offered to shove the F----d headers up in your ***, and you said nothing. Now you call me a bench racer. I will meet you any where any time mother ******.

Real racers don’t fight they just cut the comment short on race.

IF YOU KNOW ENGLISH BITCH STICK TO THE SUBJECT, DONT BRING GRAMMER **** TO THE THREAD. I EVEN TOLD YOU DONT HIJACK THE THREAD, BUT THEN AGAIN YOU KNOW ENGLISH BETTER THAN ME, RIGHT!
