anyone know of any good machine shops in the toronto area? I'm looking to get a port, poloish and valve job for the head and i'm looking to get the block honed and bored.

I've already checked out Leitner and a guy named graham at Canadian Cylinder heads. both do phenomenal work, but also come at a cost. I'm trying to find other options.

no...he has a flow bench?

he would be ideal too, because of his history in 4age's

i should try him, although i have a feeling he'll be expensive.

i am like 200% sure that if you asked mr oldschool, yasin, he would point you in the direction you need to go, and that direction is to dufferin/finch (or was it steeles?), right to greg WHITEHEAD. He is pretty well versed in the art of carbs.

actually greg whitehead pointed me out to this guy graham (Canadian Cylinder heads) who does his work...he also does work for Strictly European Motors. Both Marco and Greg had nothing but praise for this guy.

Of course, Geroge and Johnson pointed me out to Leitner, so he's an option also.

I talked to Neil lastnight, and he recomended Richard White from TED...he's a bit more costly than the others, but then again he has razy experience with 4a's.

BTW, if any of you talked to Neil lately (post london trip), you prolly know how much of a bastard he is. If you haven't, i suggest you call him up so he explain how much of a bastard he is!!!! :wink:
