In a few months I will finally be ready to have my stock VVT engine built. I will be using manley h beam rods, 8.6CR 84mm supertech pistons w/ wiseco rings, ACL Main/Rod Race bearings (I bought STD size bearings, hopefully my crank will work with these), ARP head stud and main stud hardware, BE oil pump, supertech +1mm oversize intake and exhaust valves, supertech double springs, Mazda SUB lifters, super miata harmonic damper, and squaretop intake manifold. I am going to be replacing every seal/gasket as well. I was wondering if anyone has experience or knows of any good machine shops in California that are familiar with building a performance mazda BP motor. I am located near Monterey,CA so somewhere not too far from here would be better. Thanks in advance!

I'd reach out to Twibs415 here on MT... he's up in San Francisco and may be able to help you out.

 

This is who I used for my recommended to me by a spec miata engine builder. They can do a 4 and 5 angle performance valve job.

BPE Racing Heads: labor prices

I disassembled and cleaned the head first and dropped it off with a +1mm intake and +1mm exhaust valve.
They cut the valves seats for me and blended the throat some.
I reassembled and did the valve lash adjustments myself.

They can also do the whole head from start to finish as well

I used catsillo's crankshaft to regrind my crank.

The rest of the work I did myself.
