Did you try looking in the phone book?

I would if I had a local one. :)

Im not where the car is, unfortunately.

yahoo search says there is:

A-1 Auto Machine Shop and
K&B Auto machien shop

both in greensburg.

i have no idea of the reputation of these people which is why i asked here. I would go to one of the vendors here but I dont think any of them do the mundane stuff like cleaning, and most are pretty far from where the car is.

I made a few calls and found a place local to me (via referral) that will do the hot tanking, bead blasting, and dyeing (since its an aluminum head no magnafluxing) to check for cracks for $85.00 a head.

In general, is that a good price? Some at an auto parts store said it shouldn't be more than 30 bucks a head but maybe that was just for hot tanking not for bead blasting or dyeing?

Thanks
