Where's a good place get some head work done?
Needing valve springs supplied and installed and a skim. Will also get them to chuck in my shafts while they are at it.
South Auckland would be preferable but anywhere in Aucks really

Id prob try Marsh Motorsport if I lived in Aucks

by **KinLoud** » Thu Apr 29, 2010 10:19 am

Yeah - I got Marsh motorsport do machine/balance crank/block/rods for my 4agte.
Friendly guys, and I get the impression that everyone knows exactly what they are doing (no brand new apprentice working on your engine!)
They have top quality machines to do the work. Also a good flow bench and engine dyno.

Go visit them. Tony Marsh is the owner/boss

Yea these guys know their stuff, they built the motor for my old race car(class 1 offroader) never had any issues with it or their service

by **4agtepwr** » Thu Apr 29, 2010 11:48 pm

I think it was/is the fastest n/a smallblock in the world but i may be wrong, looks like a classy shop though

Py7h0n's big cleanout · by **Py7h0n** » Fri Apr 30, 2010 9:27 am

Emma - If you seriously want a good job go and see Franklin Cams - Ask for Adrian.

He did my head, Johns (Red Mk3 that does 9's) and Rayglass's Celica. He knows how to work with the JZ heads and can also supply parts at really good prices.

He custom made my camshafts and did my first porting job as well as supply and fit valves, springs and retainers.

Thanks so much guys.
Took my time visiting and talkng with a few of the mentioned places. Went out to see Adrian at Franklin cams too Py7hon, he was very helpful (and will supply me with the valve springs) and referred me to Doug, who I've since dropped all my stuff off to for the work

Wasn't too keen on Marsh motorsports, he just didnt seem to take me seriously at all.

Disappointing to hear that about Marsh Motorsport, perhaps hes only into dinosaur stuff?
