I am not sure what deal was going on with you guys or any specifics on what happened there but the few dealings I have had with Watt were all good to me and I ended up happy.

Watt is now north of Rockwall in Lavon. He built a shop on his land by his house and cut down the overhead whiule making himself more accessible to his wife and new born.

I wanted to get some basic machine work done on my block and he got mad at me for calling to check in because i was in a hurry, and he knew it. i supplied the cam bearings and was only getting a basic clean/hone job. He never did my stuff, and so I finally went to go get it after it sitting at hsi shop for 2 weeks untouched, and he told me i should take it since it's not good enough for him to work on. He only works where the money is, and I wasnt spending enough. Hell he treated my block like **** when I brought it in, I should of known then to take it elsewhere.

PM him.Thats his username Nighttrain66 or phone him.His number is at the bottom of his thread.I would never try to quote his prices.I know what he told me but I wouldnt feel right saying he will do every port job for the same.Some Im sure will be more some will be less thats up to him.I figure he probably charges by the hour and knows how much time he will spend doing many different types of heads.He sounds like a very cool guy so dont hesitate to ask him.

Well I finally dropped the iron eagles off at Lloyds.After only a few minutes of talking to him yu can tell he really knows his ****.Seems like a very nice guy to deal with.I cant wait to pick them up but it will be a few weeks before I can get back to get them.I cant get a day off of work right now so I told him to take his time.His prices are way cheaper than I was expecting when I started thinking about getting some port work done.There is no doubt he will get my LT1 heads when I tear that thing apart.
