Machine Shops In Alberta

Hey anyone in and around the Calgary/Red Deer Alberta area know of any good/reputable engine machine shops? I will need to get some work done in the fall of this year (heads, block, crank, etc.)

The ONLY Oldsmobile engine builder in Alberta that you should consider is Joss Engines in Lethbridge AB.

Ok. I'm actually going to build the engine myself, I just need the following done...

Block - tanked/cleaned, checked for cracks, new cam bearings & frost plugs, new piston rings, hone the cylinders (don't want to get into boring if i don't have to. Might look into new pistons. The motor doesn't knock/tick at all but it is supposed to have 200K miles on it & has never been apart)

Heads - tanked/cleaned, checked for cracks/warpage, grind the valves/seats

Crank - turned & polished, new bearings

Intake - tanked/cleaned, checked for cracks/warpage (I'm staying with the stock 4bbl intake)
