    Hey Guy’s,
    I need to find a machine shop in the Oakland, CA area. Or another Hamber who can help me out with my 235 Chevy head. I have an old timer who is helping build a hopped up motor. But his machinist passed away a few years back. I want to open up the intake ports on my head. This has to be a machinist not an auto machinist - I already have him.
    I want to open up the intake ports to 1.490. Thanks, I appreciate the help.

    A competent auto machinist with the correct cutter could accomplish that with his seat and guide machine.

    Google Oakland California Automotive Machine Shops and you will get a 1/2 dozen to choose from.
    Good Luck.

    I am out of commission for probably 2 months.

    I was involved in a hit and run accident last Thursday night. A minivan crossed the double yellow line, and hit me head on, while I was riding my bicycle. I'm back in a wheelchair.

    I used a guy in Fresno a couple years ago. Not very close to you, but I could see if I can find his name. Kind of a greaseball but e got the job done. Did the whole head to McGurk specs.
