Machine shop recommendation in Boston area?

[n1gzd_plymouth]

Does anyone have a machine shop recommendation in the Boston area (preferably in Woburn/Burlington area or reasonable distance from there).

Some already recommended MCS in Marlboro but that would be a bit of a haul during my lunch break.

I just need to give them my manifolds to have them separate them, sand blast it (prep for paint) and re-surface it.

Rebecca.......are you trying to get the intake manifold separated

from the exhaust portion?? If so, you might try a muffler shop.

I took one to a fellow I know at a local shop, he heated the bolts with

his torch, then loosened them for me. Of course, the good part is,

he owns and works on old cars and hotrods.

Just a thought.

I also want them to resurface them.

Oh, OK. I didn't catch on to the part about sandblast and re-surface.

Guess I don't know how you re-surface a manifold......

Guess I don't know how you re-surface a manifold......

you use a giant belt sander.

The NAPA store on route 9 in Natick Mass. has a machinist. He pressed the bushings into the spindles off of my car and reemed them to fit the kingpins. He did a good job, and was quick, only took a day or 2. You might want to give them a call to check if he can do what you want before driving down. I had the work done in the summer of 2007, I assume that he is still there. Sorry, but I do not remember his name.
