Default Head job?

Can anyone recommend someone that can rework my Disco2 heads in the Boston area? I'm doing head gaskets,timing cover gasket, timing gears, and oil pump gears. While I've got them off I want to get them done if for nothing else than piece of mind. I've got close to 200K on the odometer and always run premium gas.

I could give yo the names of some places on the south shore, but there has got to be plenty of good machine shops on the north shore. There is nothing different for an alloy rover head than an alloy GM or Ford head.

J. White in Framingham. Might be a little pricey, but they are certified LR techs. The mechanics are super nice, they take the time out to go over your car with you, and they can set you up with a rental for a couple of bucks. Its right on Rt. 9, exit 12 off the Pike. Drowswap, are you on the South Shore? I'm in Quincy, I have the exact same truck and color.

I live in Wollaston, and have for about 30 years (minus a few stints here and there across the country). Up on the hill. There's a good machine shop in East Weymouth too, if you don't mind running the risk of your rims being stolen overnight.

Thanks for the good responses. Now I have some options to check. I was using Smiths Machine in Southie but they don't do engine stuff anymore. I still take everything else there though they do good work.
