Default Machine Shop in NY recommendation?

I'm in Westchester Co. Any experience that anyone is happy to pass along?

Need...
valve job,
cyl head resurface,
block decking,
flywheel (intermediate plate) resurfacing

I guess I could ship the heads to Carl (probably a very good idea)

Or/and make a drop off trip at David Lloyd's place in CT.

TIA

Any machine shop could do the head. Look for one under Napa.

Why "deck the block" it's almost never done on the 928.

There is a shop right on Exit 55 of the Long Island Expressway called Jack Merkels(631-234-2600). They have been doing machine works on cars since the 70's. They have a great reputation as far as I know. Used then in the late 70's to do some work on my cars. Only about an hours drive from you.
