Head skimming in West Yorkshire

[Multics]

I need to skim a cylinder head and exhaust manifold. Anyone recommend a good machine shop in west Yorkshire area (Leeds/Manchester)? Thanks

Hi mate, Drakes in Bradford seems to be a good place. I've not had any work done by them but from a little chat with one of the guys, they seemto know what they're doing.

I was reccomended them by a few guys but ended up scrapping the car.

Thanks a lot mate, I'll bookmark the link for next time.

I used Bradford Grinders in the end, they were cheap and cheerful - http://www.bguk.co.uk/

I only had to skim the exhaust manifold in the end, they removed 10 thou. Cost me £30.

I've been there as well! I had them press out all my 200sx bushes. I wasn't happy with the results as they knacked most of the arms by using the wrong size drift.

Ah well, sounds like they're skimming is better than their pressing!
