    Pinto Head machining: where to go??

    Looking for recommendations of where I can take/send my Pinto injection head in Nth Lincs/Yorkshire to get some machine work done on it before and after I DIY port it. Valve throats opening out, spring seats milling for double springs etc, preferably someone who knows Pintos.

    Thanks!!

    The best person I could suggest is Steve Coulson at Vulcan Engineering...not near you but he is the best IMHO

    thanks, might have to be further afield as there doesn't seem to be anyone who knows pinto's locally'ish.

    Yeah Steve at Vulcan is probably your best bet, not had any work done by him personally, but only hear good things.
