Looking for good machine shops in the area. I’m in Wichita but could travel for the right guy.
I want to do a valve job on a pair of 2UZ heads, hopefully with Toyota parts (exh valves, springs, guides) which I intend to get from Partsouq.
My donor motor is a tundra with 200k. Lost a cam belt. I’ve done some disassembly and am not eager to just slap them on. Valves and seats are not horrible but I’d like better.
I will put these heads on a 2004 Land Cruiser which has no spark plug threads in #8 and some of the other plugs are being difficult to remove.
It is against my nature to pull a cylinder head with this many miles and not do a valve job.
I have talked to D.A. Clem in Wichita and may go with him, but I have found him difficult to work with. He seems to think I will not have the willingness ($) to do it. I am certain it will be like pulling teeth to get him to use Toyota parts. I have used him in the past for my MR2 and FJ40.
Looking around.
