Hey, I have already searched through here for the answer, and mostly found answers and recommendations in va beach like abacus or the head shop. I just have a 22r head I need resurfaced and would rather stay on my side of the water. Any one have any good suggestions for a good reasonable machine shop over here? Thanks.

 

I took my 4age head to Apples to get done and I took my built LS head to get done there too. Nothing but good things. Really good price too!

The 4age head got all OEM rebuild and cams with new guides and it got shaved.

The LS Head got everything replaced in it. New cams, springs, retainers..etc and it got shaved too.

 

There was just a thread about this. Check out Hop's Place in Hampton. 723-0747 Tell them I sent you.

 

alright. sounds good. i heard from someone today they were not sure whether or not apples was still around. something about napa coming in or something. thought about hops, it is right up the road, but hadn't heard anything about the head work, so didn't have anything to go by. turns out i need a cylinder bore too, just found out.. any good recommendations there??

i asked the same question a few days ago. Apples is still around but the wanted way to much money over abacus. Also abacus was way more customer friendly than apple's if you care about that kind of stuff. IF you are willing to drive down there is well worth it. I just got back from abacus and chuck is an awesome old man.

 

ha alright. yea, i didnt notice your post when i was searching, quite possible i just missed it. i read many good things about abacus, i think it may be worth the drive. o and your page is off to a good start

 

hey mike i work literally on the same street as abacus... hit me up and i'll take out there for you if you call and set everything up before hand

 

hey that would be sweet. yea, i think im going .30-.40 over and need the head resurfaced. thinking about os valves too while im at it, but not sure.

 

Apples is still around. They just got a new shop off production drive in yorktown. They do excellent work and pricing is competitive
