Hello,

Can anybody recommend a machine shop in the NW London, Watford or Readings areas?

I have just pulled my m20 325 and would like to get some work done...I don't have a complete list but skim & pressure testing the head is a must.

Years ago I used a firm in Mill Hill NW7, Middlesex Reboring who did a good job for me, removing a broken spark plug from a cylinder head and grinding the valves. I have just done a Google search and they are still there in an unlikely location in a housing area.
