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.

is that sturdevants refinish supply center? its not is it? thats the only one i can find in the phone book. do any of you guys know the number?

[JohnW]

hahaha disregard that

just a reminder. you should put the third gen lifters in the head before putting it back together.

[JohnW]

indeed. that was the plan.

[treimche]

Did you get it done yet?

[JohnW]

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.

I'd be down for helping and/or just doing it for you, but I'm gone all weekend.

[JohnW]

ya, i dont think ill be getting around to it this weekend. ill let you know for sure when i will be doing it tho, i could use the help. ill prolly be replacing all the timing stuff as well so that will be fun.
