Looking for a good machine shop in san diego to get my heads milled for more compression... anyone have any recommendations?

 

how much are you looking to shave off?

 

Im trying to take off at least .030 in. This will get me to my desired compression.


I called a machine shop today who claims they are well respected, nice people, and been in the business for 47 years.

I asked the guy if he can mill my heads. "what do you mean mill your heads? the only head work we do is resurfacing and rebuilding." Now I may be wrong but I thought resurfacing and milling were the same thing.

I told him I wanted to shave them down. "well you know your going to have very high compression which is going to blow your engine." I told him my engine is already prepared for shaved heads. "whatever, how much do you want to shave off."

Now this may sound funny to you guys but I didnt know how to say .030 in. so I told him "ummm, point 0 Three 0 of an inch." He told me, "theres no such thing, I cant work with you unless you give me a REAL number." "well Im sure you understand what I mean. Its point 0 three 0 of an inch, I dont know how to say it." "I cant work with you without a real number call me back when you know what your talking about."

Dont go to kenyon machine. There extreme d!ck heads.
