Default Opinions on Benson's Machine Headwork

Well as a few of you may know I purchased a JUN Camshaft kit (cams,gears,retainers and spring's) a couple of week's ago along with an APEXi power FC and FC commander. Well upon recieving most of the parts I decided to do a Mugen headgasket and well now I wanna port and polish the head along with port matching everything. The shop I go through reccomend's I send the head to Benson's Machine to have the work done and since I trust all of your opinion's wanted to know if they will treat and prepare my B18C5 head properly. Any opinion's will be greatly app. TIA

Also any opinios on the Thinner TODA head gasket's?

If you read your instructions on the JUN camshafts, it say do NOT mill the head. Well using a thinner gasket is the same exact effect of milling the head.

Use a stock headgasket, and you should be fine. Its just that running such big cams, you have to worry about piston to valve clearances.

Bensons is good for the 3 angle valve job, and i recommend them for that.

Just send it to ENDYN - drop it off at the 7-Eleven near Larry's crib and MAYBE you'll get it back without it throwing a rod or having Larry swear at you.

Gee thank's for the help

Endyn will not be getting my business and neither will Atomic.

I spoke with JUN and My buddy has a Mugen Headgasket on his Type-3 equipped Type-R

I want to know about bensons Do they have a website.
