Valve job in So/Cal?

PostPost by: JohninCM » Mon Aug 13, 2007 12:10 am

Greetings board members.

This question is really intended for my 66 Lotus Cortina. I searched the forum and did not turn up an answer.

I have removed the head for replacement of the water pump. And I'd like to have the twin cam head freshened up while it's off the block. I'm hoping to learn of a recommended shop in the southern California area. Nothing too radical, most likely some valve guides and re-facing the valves.

My goal is to locate a shop with known twin cam experience and the ability to get work done in a timely manner (that might be the hard part). I really hope to avoid the 6 month valve job (or worse).

So does anyone have a shop the can recommend?

Thanks in advance.

Check with Dave Bean. They can probably refer you to someone in your area that they have supplied parts to.

Thanks guys. I now have a few tips to check up on. I'm sure one of them will work out.

Just in case anyone is interested here is a link to some photos I took the day I bought the Cortina three years ago.
