Can any machine shop do this and usually if I take it some place how much would it run me cash wise?
|
No its not some thing that every shop does. I had to call around some. Its very precise work. I am not sure what most places charge but for cleaning, resurface head and o-ring it was 450$. I will dig up my reciept and give a breakdown.

When is it necessary to do O rings? I am planning on running small twins with a hx35 over ht3b and was wondering if you thought i would need to o ring or i can just get away with a better gasket and ARP head studs?

so they dont cut grooves in the head ether? they just glue the wire on or they only cut grooves in the head and not the block?
