Hello, I have a set of #5 heads I'm thinking about having redone with larger valves. Anyone have recommendations for a machine shop to do this near me? Maybe 150-ish radius from Winchester VA.
thanks

 

Check with Kowalsky Machine just south of Lynchburg, just a little more than 150 miles from you. I've never had them do anything and not sure how much they know about Oldsmobile but they have a good reputation in racing circles and have been in business for themselves since 80s.

I give them a call, thanks

 

I'm also in the Lovettsville area very often. Perhaps Joe_Padavano has some suggestions in the Frederick, Baltimore, Hagerstown areas?

 

I use Gunther's Machine in Walkersville, MD.

 

Not sure how busy Simon is at Tysons machine but he is another one to add to the list. I am probably in your distance range but I am just overwhelmed with work so no sense offering

 

I would have suggested Bill's shop, but it's outside your radius. Gunther's has been very busy also.

 

Simon is a good dude, he did some work for me in the early 90's. I also spent a good bit of time talking to him about the craft. At the time I was taking a machinist class at NVCC.
Bill, just curious, what's your shop name and location?
