I'm looking for a place to take some stock cast iron GTO heads to have them redone. I was thinking about sending them to Butler in TN, but thought I'd see if there's any good shops in the Los Angeles area first.
If you cant find local I can recommend a shop in the Bay area- Victory Machine.
You might try Valley Head Service out in Northridge. My friend found that place and was really impressed with their work. They have a Pontiac guy their that really knows his stuff.

Just saw your post.
Where are you located? SoCal is a pretty large area. I use a machine shop in San Bernardino, CA and happy with him. I currently have a set of 77's that he is installing stainless valves, hardened exhaust seats, and converting to screw-in rocker studs.

He's a couple miles north the I-10 Freeway at the Mt. View exit - so far south San Bernardino. If he is far away from you, maybe others will respond with trusted shops in their areas.
A pal of mine found this shop in Northridge. There's a guy their that does the head work that's very familiar with Pontiacs too.
