Default Shop Advice

Can anyone recommend a shop in the Memphis area that can rebuild my cylinder heads? Thanks

Just to clarify, you're not looking for a shop to do head gaskets? You want the heads rebuilt aka decked and a valve job.

I don't have a specific recommendation, but you'll have to look for a machine shop. A regular garage won't do that

No gaskets. probably just valve seals and have them lapped. Also get them to do a pressure test and make sure everything is in spec. Never overheated so I'm thinking they won't need skimmed.

Nope. Long story short....Bought this rover 3 years ago from a dealer that put in a donor block. Switched everything over from the old motor. It has made a loud ticking noise recently so I took the top end off. Found a rod on #3 that was mushroomed with the rocker cup beat to hell. The heads look like they've never been re done so since I have them off I want to get them back to new.
