Message	My experience with CT machine shops hasn't been good. The ones I know in Connecticut are an hours drive and don't like to waste their time with little fish like me (no money in it for them). I took my NA heads to one 40 minutes away and he kept them on the bench for 2 weeks without even touching them. So I took them back and took them to a guy 1.5 hours away and it took him another 2 weeks. Total of 4 weeks time for a rather routine job of refurbishing the heads? I expect about the same responsiveness to simply dunk some parts in a hot tank. I desperately need to find a responsive machine shop close by but so far I don't know any. I'll ping my local Z club again but they haven't been helpful when I've asked them this in the past either. OverZealous (CT) My General posts (click)
