I need a machine shop in North Carolina to do some head work. As some of you know I had my head gasket blow while the car was parked at Arby's on the way down to do the Talladega Grand Prix track day with PileOPorsche.
How does a car run fine and then fill up a cylinder with water while its parked? I dunno but it happened.
Search brings up SpeedWerks in Thomasville. I sent them an email. Any other recommendations?

While I have had a good time walking in European Performance and chatting with the guys there, I've heard some bad stories.
Black Forest said they'd want to look at the head before they gave my free estimate.
SpeedWerks said that they'd do resurface, guides, and valve grind for $405.

T-Hoff is a machine shop and parts house in Raliegh. They are also a Bosch parts dist. Also one of the only machine shops I know of that can heat straighten heads in this part of the state.
Thanks for the welcome, just newly registered.... a former lurker.

I realize the consignment shop is separate, but I know first hand of a car that had an "alignment" there where the tie rod ends weren't even loosened and the lug nuts weren't torqued. Could have been just a one time mistake but still I will pass.
Hmm t-hoff has a store right by Duke's campus. I'll probably stop by and talk to them.

Suspect you are thinking about rebuilding a water-cooled 996 3.4L motor? If so, you would probably receive more [detailed] responses if you posted this question in the 996 Forum, four forums down on the home page.
