Recommendations for NorCal Machine Shop - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hello All,

I was hoping for advise from the community on this one.

Background:
I have been tracking my 2006 350Z for around a year, and I have low compression (150psi) on at least two cylinders and 25% leak on at least one.
I am going to be tearing off my intake manifold and valve covers to isolate the leak to either the rings or the valve/seals (air was leaking from oil fill cap).

In any case, I am expecting to have to do some engine work and I would like to get the communities recommendations on good machine shops that provide quality machining and preferably, are familiar with VQ's.
I prefer NorCal but will drive to SoCal if needed.

Your help is greatly appreciated and I thank you ahead of time.

I personally know nothing about those motors, but I know this shop specializes with them

https://www.hexagarage.com/

I believe they're in Santa Rosa.
