Houston machine shops

[Catmonkey]

I know there are several of you guys in and around the Houston area. I need to have my heads resurfaced and if I have to go that far I figured I'd get a 3 angle valve job. Any experience or recommendations with any shops that know their way around Ford DOHC heads? I've had Houston Engine and Balancing do work for me a decade ago, but wanted to know if there are any other shops that should be on my radar. I'm looking for a place that does not source out its machine work.

Houston Engine & Balancing is still the only place to go. Almost all of the independent shops around here send their stuff to HE&B, as do most racers. I'd have no issue sending my parts there.

Thanks Boogie, I was going to send you a PM, but I know there's a bunch of guys from your area on here.

This. I spent two years in the area at the School of Automotive Machinists and have never really heard anything bad about this shop.

What part of LA are you in? I'm from Lafayette and go there frequently to visit family.

We PM'd before, but you probably forgot. I'm in Lafayette.

Yeah, don't take it to Mets. Larry Meaux was good back in the day, but not so much anymore.
