Default Machine shop to line hone cam caps!

Hey guys need your help. I live in Utah, and in the whole state theres not ONE shop that can line hone cam caps on a GSR head. Long story short, I had my GSR head fully built, but when i got it back the cam caps were missing. Shop says they were sent with the caps, so i got some from my old GSR and need to have them line honed, but no one in the state can do it. Is there anywhere you guys know somewhere in your state that can do it, and is reputable? I'd like to keep it as close to UT as possible, because i have to freight ship the head and it'll be more expensive the farthern out i send it. Please! Need this ASAP. PM me if you have a number or just reply back. Thanks! :D

I had mine done at Cylinder Head Service in San Diego. If you can't find anyone closer, let me know and I'll give you their contact info.

Cylinder Head Service
(619)295-1371

Might want to ask for pricing, I had that done a few years ago and prices may have gone up a bit since then due to the economy.

I called and it's about $220 which is way better than I thought. I have a question, is line bore and line hone the same thing? The shop in Vegas said they line bore but don't line hone. What's the difference? And does it matter which one is done to get the cam caps working properly? Thanks!
