Hi Guys,

Do you know of any reputable places in central Jersey where I could have my cylinder heads resurfaced and my engine block decked? I live by Princeton so any where within 45 minutes from there is cool.

I have heard some bad things about turbotrix decking/surfacing heads.. What about HeadGames? They are in Trenton and that's pretty much what they do..

thnx for the link

do you know roughly how much they charge for resurfacing?

I've never had anything done by them but I've heard a lot of good things about them.. When I needed machine work done I went to this website and searched for all the local places then called them for prices.. http://www.crankshaftco.com/engine-repair-directory

I ended up getting my cylinder head resurfaced for $55 and the block surfaced for $65.. The prices ranged from that to around $80 for the cylinder head alone depending on the shop.. Since you have a V6 I assume, it will probably be a bit more..

Headgames does some sick stuff I have 2 friends who got work done there and both are extremely happy with the work.

vgterian94 · 11-24-2010, 01:40 PM

approximately how much did they charge? most shops ask for like 6o bucks a head and almost 100 for the block. both headworks and turbotrix havent sent me estimated quotes yet -_- also, is it necessary to completely part out the engine before a resurface? is it because u dont want any debris around moving parts or channels?

vgterian94 · 11-27-2010, 08:07 PM

called up headgames tonight. $60 a head but they didnt do block resurfacing...

the guy there mentioned a machine shop on sharon road.

is that shop called avr automotive machine?
