Default Machine shop in Connecticut

Looking for a reputable machine shop in Ct..I'm redoing my engine now and the shop I'm using is not impressing me.I need to get some heads decked to build compression and he doesn't seem enthused to do the work.Telling me I'd be going in circles and that gaskets will no longer line up,so.....
I would like to find a new shop,hopefully somebody into Pontiacs.

If ya know of one,let me know.I'm in New Britain but will travel for good work.

Thanks

I used Carlquist Compitition Engines. He built my engine a few years back. He is very meticulous for sure! The shop is in Oakville. Not cheap but then again you get what you pay for!

Another good machine shop that I have used before is Sandtrom Machine in Bristol. Tom is very knowledgeable and knows Pontiac engines. He always told me straight up my options and never told me it was race season and I have to wait.

Sandstrom Auto Machines LLC

Bristol, CT 06010
