Any local machine shop. Go to http://yellowpages.net and search your area code for "machine shop".

However, you don't need your block or your head "repolished". It won't do you any good. emoji

Nope, they're still dealing w/ the 420a. They still have their block and head packages available too.

No, unless you're rebuilding your engine with forged pistons and stuff for a turbokit, you don't need to polish anything on or in the engine.

The seals leak because they're rubber and decompose over time. Just have a regular mechanic replace the seals if theyre leaking.

Guys,
She does want to rebuild for turbo. I told her that she should have the block decked etc if needed to ensure that its straight so that the head and block seal well. She's new, so giv'er a little break if her terminology isnt exactly correct.

Alicia: VT engines is a good place to deal with if they are in fact still doing work for the 420A crowd.
