A ā€œhead shaveā€ is a simple operation. You should be good no matter what you choose. ---

Napa did the work on my last set of heads, fixed shit they werent supposed to (bolt holes that they werent told to fix) and tried charging me for that work and they blasted the clearcoat/whatever it was on the heads off leaving them with a cast finish. ---

I know that Dave is busy as all hell lately with the recent dyno addition as well as keeping up with the daily grind. I was just there today and know thatā€™s thereā€™s alot going on. Best bet if youā€™re considering HM, just give them a call, talk to Shaun, and ask what the lead time is if youā€™re just looking to have a head surfaced(nothing else done to it). I donā€™t work for Dave or the machine shop itself. I just do my own engine business through them and assemble any Porsche/Subaru motors for Dave when needed so I canā€™t really speak for their scheduling down there. As far as your FW is/was concerned I apologize for any mishap that may have occurred. I do not know of the ordeal itself so I canā€™t really speculate on the matter. I know some FWā€™s put up a fight to remove the dowels, which must be removed prior to machining, but anything that was damaged/broken should have been brought to light. I cannot imagine Dave himself letting that slide. ā˜¹ ---

Dave is pretty particular about his work and thatā€™s what I like about it. My buddy(Wizard13) is getting his Pontiac 400 BB done up there and all the work is superb so far and has been well before this. He did a great job on the CR-V Head that I dropped there and I def recommend! [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/good-machine-shop/252270.md?page=2)
