Hi
Can anyone recommend a good machine shop that is familiar with 912 cylinder heads.
I am thinking of getting the heads to my original engine refurbished.
Machine shops I have contacted locally have no experience of Porsche aircooled heads.
Cheers
Phil

Re: 912 Cylinder Heads
Hi, I’m not sure how different 912 heads are from 911 ones but I’d imagine the basics are pretty much the same.
I used http://www.robwalkerengineering.co.uk for mine, valve guides, skim, valve seats, blast etc
Still going strong so no complaints!

I found this post from Chris Turner agreeing with you viewtopic.php?f=2&t=50092&p=424586&hili ... is#p424586Gary71 wrote:Hi, I’m not sure how different 912 heads are from 911 ones but I’d imagine the basics are pretty much the same.

Angus has a nice setup too (Will his mechanist is ex RedTek) and if that isn't enough recommendations call PRS and ask them to recommend.
