Head repair in Soutern California

[reelmin]

Can any of the members refer me to a machine shop in the Orange County, CA area. I have one crack between the valves on the #2 cylider that I found while replacing the head gaskets. I never over heated the engine but when the gasket went it sure did try to blow the coolant out. I would like to have valve guides installed in the water jacket as discussed on TDP. I have 106,000 miles on my 94 2500 SUB. Any advice would be appreciated.

You might give Mesa Machine a try in Escondido, they had done a lot of work on the 6.2 stuff I hear. My experience was positive but was on a gasser. 760-746-2815, I realize that we're south of O.C. tongue.gif

John...you might want to talk with Mike or Dave at this DP recommended shop:

Diesel Tune in southern CA specializes in 6.2/6.5 engines, 562-929-6554

I spoke with Mike on the phone a month or so ago and he was very helpful. They're in Hawthorne or Torrance or somewhere like that...not too far from you.

Good luck...
