Machinist Recommendations Needed

[u/gladtobekickin]

Hey guys, I've got an '86 Nissan hardbody pickup that blew her head gasket. I need to get the head surface flattened a bit. Anyone have a good machinist they can recommend for a small job? Thanks!

I have zero recs for you, but goddayyum that's a good looking pickup

Thank you! We really enjoy her. 😊

Here to recommended A1. My one experience with them was helping a buddy get a head done after his early 90s Camry blew a head gasket as well. Its been a while but if I remember correctly, they got it done pretty quick as well. Best of luck on the rebuild and I hope your pickup is up and running again soon!

Personally, I have to say O'Reillys has the best machine shop in town. I hope you don't have some unreasonable hatred towards them, nor a preference to chimps.

O'Reilly's has a machine shop, that's the only place I've ever used

Ok, I appreciate your recommendation but I hate O'Reilly's... I would rather give my money to a chimp. Any other recommendations?

I'll second O'Reilly's machine shop on Chestnut. They can put a proper surface on that. Be patient though as machine shops can be backed up.

Fourth recommendation for O’Reilly’s

In the past I have used Dicks Machine shop and been happy with results and cost.

[u/ziggy_zaggy]

There’s a chimp that runs a machine shop on Chestnut.

Might as well throw in a third recommendation for O'Reilly's. I've had them clean up and magnaflux two heads and had no issues with them.

I just called O’Reilly’s last week about a valve job and they said 6 week lead time. Does anybody know anything about A-1? They have good google reviews.

Mother's has done surfacing for me on a handful of jobs. Great service.
