LOL, never mind... head - polished Ohhh... so dirty

Ya, Leitner is THE place to go for any and all machining work. I can tell you, polishing and porting is not something that just anyone should be doing. Though not demanding, the process is very intricate and a high level of precision is needed to maintain good velocity of the intake charge. Experince counts in this case, and I know Leitner's got it!!

You want the head polished or the valve cover... be very specific in what you ask for. Any motorcycle place can do it... not cheap, and not worth it unless you get the whole block, tranny case, everything done and show the car. IMO, having one shiny bit makes the rest of the bits that much duller by comparison.

Steve, I know you got the experience cuz I know quite a few guys (from way back before I ever even heard of TCC ) who have had engines built by you (turbo VR6 from Ottawa, turbo B16A - Pat at Plus 1 Performance from Ottawa, Dan at Godspeed in Detroit, MI... the list goes on)... and I have never heard anything but good things.
