Machine Shop In Maldon/chelmsford Area

[suzi1074]

Hi all. Finally decided to get my pinto head converted to unleaded as the valve seals need replacing(not good when starting up in street with exhaust aiming at open shop door!)Does anyone know of a good machine shop in Maldon/Chelmsford area.Thanks Nick.

It may just be the way you've typed it, but do you know worn valve stem oil seals and unleaded valve seats are unrelated?

 

Here is a link to the easy (or rather head-on) way of changing the seals.

Thurstons are good.

Gosneys Romford used to do a lot of Burtons work, I used them to have valve spring seats cut.

Star engineering Broomfield road, I used them to bore a pinto to 2.1 fit my V6 pistons to Cosworth rods, bearings etc.

They know what they are doing you just need to tell them exactly what you want.

Thanks for the replies. Will try Star as they are local.Got an enforced off road as some low life broke two sheets of roofing on garage right above car letting rain into car.All carpets seats and trims are nice and mouldy.Slight damage to skuttle where one sheet landed.So now's seems a good time to do all those jobs i've been putting off.
