Don't know of any in Danbury, but here is one in Oakville, CT. I used them to flux my head and cut firering grooves.

No the head is o-ringed and arp 2000 studs. I want to have the head and o-rings checked out I think the potrusion on the o-rings is off.It's a fully built engine only has 5000 miles on the rebuild.Just want to make sure everything is good before I put it back together.

After the motor was built how many re-torques were done????

I think there was at least 3 re-torques done.I would have to ask Lloyd for sure he built the engine.I was also wondering if I should have done another re-torque,thought i was good for awhile longer.

where in carmel are you?.. Im over in Lagrange.. I am around alot in your area...are you coming over to the SeeFood Fest?.. I haven't met you yet..as for machine shops i'd stick with one thats has done em before ..and does good work..The machine shop i deal with for my other engines hasn't done any fire rings yet for the cummins and has no deck plate for boring etc..so i'd stick with Warpigs recommendation.
Thanks
