a few years ago I had this machine shop in VA Beach deck the head of my Jeeps 4.2. He only charged $50 and even steam cleaned it for me.

The location was on Providence Road, right before the intersection of Indian River, directly across the street from a newer elementary school. There are a lot of boat in the parking lot, as they also do boat work.

If you're up closer to Williamsburg there's a place on Rt. 60 out in Lanexa. Jimmy's Machine Shop.

You'll hear good and bad from him. I know many people that have had excellent work done, including myself. But I've heard of a few people having problems with his work.

Why do you need a machine shop? Just go to a barbershop man. Hell, if you got scissors and a razor it's an easy weekend DIY.
