My machine shop guy that I used for years got killed in an accident. A new guy is running the shop. I took a straight 8 head there and he said he would have to reconfigure his head surfacing machine to do it. He said he was going to try it on a big table top belt sander. Its the same one he uses to surface exhaust manifolds. I'm not sure I want to experiment with an 80 year old head. Last time I checked the Packard plant stopped making them. Has anyone done this.
