    Hi all,

    I’m in the middle of doing a head gasket job and I found a scratch/gouge in the surface and I wanted to deck the whole head flat. Anyone have any recos of shops that can do this in the LA/OC area? Thanks ahead or time!

    There is a really good shop in Signal Hill. I'll try to find the info.

    Edit: FR automotive machine shop

    Called all 3 shops. Ended up going with FR automotive. Owner seemed pretty knowledgeable and very friendly. Turnaround time was fast (2 days). He was more affordable than Quality Cylinder (They were very nice as well. Just out of my price range.)

    Thanks all for the recos!
