    i like quality engine and machine bc they do most things for a reasonable price, however, with this cheaper price it'll also take them a bit longer than many shops in town...but hell, they were gonna clean my (use to have) z6 head, as in everything, for 30-50 bux...so yea, for cheapness id go to them, but as i said, you basically pay more if you want it done sooner, so go elseware if you want it done really soon. my .02

      I dont mind berg, they do pretty good work as the machining goes. Could be better at cleaning, but they do all the testing and installation pretty cheap. But the prices you listed are pretty damn good, dont know if many shops can beat that. I believe Quality is the best in town for any engine work. I think that race season might be nearing an end for them so it shouldn't take long for them to get it done.

      Berg isn't a place too trust with a 4g63, i had a friend that had shit go wrong after they rebuilt his motor.

        Yeah Berg and 4G63's are definitely a big no no. How many times has Bobby's motor been out because they fucked up machining it? Sturdevant's has rebuild more DSM heads than any other machine shop in the state I'm sure. They do have really good prices also. I would call them to see how much it would cost. And also if you need help or someone to do the work to get the head off and back on, PM me and I can maybe set you up with something.

                    no, it'll be a lil while before i can get it done. the head will prolly come off this weekend. i have to finish my brake job (stuck rotor, grr) and fixing the strut/coilover install that the previous owner halfassed. that should be accomplised on saturday and maybe ill pull the head sunday. If anyone who has done it a few times would like to supervise or help im sure we could work out some sort of compensation. i've never done it before personally and could use the assistance.
