Post Machinist recommendations, New England area

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a machinist familiar with 911 engines, preferably in NH/Mass or at least the East Coast. I need someone to rebush rockers arms and rebuild connecting rods. I have a great guy for doing heads already.
TIA,
Chris

Chris, Have you asked Jerry at EPE?? He has done a bunch of work on my cars and is extremly competent.

Regards, James

Thanks James,
I suppose I should clarify. I'm looking for a machinist of machine shop. Your's is the 2nd recommendation I've received for 911 mechanic/engine builder. These shops send their parts out to a machinist to have the machining done.
Chris
P.S. EPE and Jerry are great.

Chris, I was thinking that you could ask Jerry who he uses. BTW I have a VMC at my disposal and I am a machinist. What exactly do you need done??

Regards, James

Try Import Machine in Framingham,MA shop is run by Dana Johnson. Does excellent work and is a very nice guy to boot. He did a set of 964 heads for me this fall. It is also the shop that EPE uses for all their race and street work. His number is 508-872-RACE he has a web site at www.intekra.com/ims
Hope this helps

Another topic but maybe of interest to you eastern New Englanders...
I had an excellent alignment done by Casey Snow at Snow's Garage, Framingham, (508) 875-4216 - $69.
I had my AC brought back from an early grave by Dave Cote - Cote Automotive, Holliston, (508) 429-5328. I bought the parts. Dave did the evac, install, and recharge. 45 degrees on a 90 degree day. Not bad.
Both are great people. Actually, I have only met great people in the porsche community around here.
Have a nice New Year.
