Default Good Machine Shop in Central Cali?

Anyone know of a good machine shop that they had pretty good luck with on their honda motors? Anywhere in Central California. Please recommend a couple.
Need to get block bored/honed, new pistons pressed on, rods resized, etc. etc.

Is there any other machine shops out here in the Central Valley that is reputable on hondas or have had experience with hondas?
Come on people. There's got to be someone who have used a machine shop out here.

Guess nobody is from Central California on here huh?....But you guys are having a big Honda-Tech Meet in Fresno this weekend

Or is it that everyone around here does the machining themselves?

i've been looking for a place to get my pistons converted to full floating, but no one seems to have experience, Decker does all of Honda North's work , but they are pricey, and everytime i call them about something specific the old man there say "it can't be done" which means he's never heard of it and therefore is useless.
i took my block to Advanced Auto to get milled, they did it right, but they took a long time. i've had my best luck so far with Densmore. they are pretty professional they have a stocked shop and they don't charge too much for most things.

I guess I'll have to try Densmore then. Do you happen to have a phone number or address for this place? I really hope they can do the necessary work on my block/rods and stuff.

I would definitely take my block down south if I had a place to stay down that way.

But I might be visiting the Bay Area soon, can anyone recommend a reputable place that won't rip my head off for the stuff I need done to my block/rods assembly up that way?
