Like stated above looking for a shop with a good rep so I can take my LS head to get ported....just need some recommendations...im willing to ship out my head...but id rather keep it in the neighborhood

 

I think the only place down here in miami (southern) is a machine shop which I forgot the name to. Its on 168th street near to Active Autowerke.

They do alot of Domestics so i don't know what experience they have with imports. I think you will find better shops up north in the broward area

 

Send your head to Port Flow Design, you'll be glad you did. Here's one of the head he did for me.

 

thats a hell of a job...but im looking into spending around 300 bucks or so for a simple port and polish and for it to be flow benched...thats about it...and yea i getting pm'ed about ppl in the broward area

 

Port Flow head I had done a while back

 

Once again I know Port Flow will do a hell of a job and its worth paying what you pay....but thats not what im looking for...im looking for simply port job that will help me get my ls head to flow a bit better....they charge to much labor and im in miami anyways

$300.00 isnt going to get you a good port, polish and flow test Not to mention quite a bit has to be done to get the LS head to flow a bit more. Been there done that

 

holy ****, 300 dollar isnt getting your ****. they have to dissasemble the head and take all the valvetrain out... not to mention all the time that is put into a good flowing head, LS head at that.

 

$300 is just a down payment, you never find somebody that knows how/what they are doing for that much. Hell, send it to me for $300, I have a dremel and polishing kit to do that. LOL,

 

Just my .02... Its better to send your head to somebody who does a lot of Honda heads, so you get what will work best for your application.

Portflow-
RLZ- super long wait but great work
Alainz- might not get you stuff back
headgames- in NJ

 

i'm going to be having (most likely) importbuilders do some work for me when i get back to the states. not sure the extent of the work (depends on condition of head i've got a good friend sourcing for me), but i know they'll do a good job.

you should send out some emails to folks like dpr racing, import builders, RLZ, and tell them what you're looking for. for $300 you'd probably only be able to get a good valve job and cleanup, but hey--you'd be surprised how much a simple valve job can actually help an engine breathe.

 

Well I for got the mention the head is already completly diassembled and i will put it back together and all i want is some guy to do a good job with with porting the head....and i did say around 300 or so....500 bucks still sounds like a good deal or so to me
