Machine shops

Thanks for the names guys. I will be reaching out to them soon. Do any of them do there own machine work or do they send it out? Even if they send it out I can always try and get the name of the shop from them.

deck the head

Spoke to Steve at APS. Said he would do the head for like $85.00. that’s sounds good. He does his own work and said he could turn it around in a day. Said he could also pop off test my carbs and adjust if needed for $100.00. that sounds a little steep. I may try this myself, but will have to get a pop off gauge. The carbs are brand new with three hours on them so a rebuild is not needed, I am just using prok arresters and wanted to see what the pop off pressure was. Timmyboy mentioned it should be lower since the manifold pressure is decreased. I was thinking of going 100% modless but a little compression and some air fuel goes a long way.

I think I will put it back together this time with the stock head, stock pipe, stock rave vales, but leave the arrestors on it since I have the jets in already. Oh ya, Anyone reading a post by me talking about compression readings on the new top end.. I made a major new guy f up. I tested with throttle closed. :stupid:

I know he does not do is own machine work and i was hoping to talk to the machine shop itself. No big deal as I decided to leave as is for now anyway. Thansk !!!
