Are there any reputable head builders in Ontario, Canada for us?
I have two that I can use, but if there is someone known good with the inline I would rather them!

Engine builders, too! I have two ford inline builders... but I drive a Chevy!

Recommendations?

The boring / honing / grinding machines and tools used don't know if they are being used on a Ford or Chevy. Expertise and professionalism and attention to detail carry over from one brand to another with the right builder.

I'm not knocking the ford builders... they admit having no experience with the Chevy engines. There are quirks and intricacies with each engine, family, manufacturer. I'm looking for someone with experience on the Chevy engines for knowledge in such areas.

Any competent haed specialist can do what you need. Some may prefer one brand or another, but if they're worth their salt, they will rely on their flow bench and the physics of the head to get the desired results.

That engine has no clue what was stamped on the valve cover!!

If you are referring to some of the weak links and pitfalls that Leo Santucci discusses in his book in Chevrolet sixes then why not give Leo's book to the best engine builder you have, highlighting some of the trouble spots and possible fixes he mentions.
