Bronze valve guide liner install J heads question for machine shop guys...

We are down to one here in town. They are performance oriented so they do the IMCA stock car Chevy engines. Tom bought out another shop and got a lot of nice equipment including the dyno and the previous owner to run it. There is another one man shop 15 miles away that did my 273. He does nice work and has newer equipment. They are getting few and far between.


Someone will probably get a deal on my valve seat machine with 2000.00 worth of upgrades, a nice flowbench, mig, Tig, and stick welder, a lathe and several other goodies because my kids aren’t into it. But I don’t care and if I want or need something I’m buying it.
