Engine work needed in Minnesota

[fasterpatrick]

I tried to perform a leakdown test on my Lincoln 32valve engine and wasn't happy with the out come. Upon further inspection (removed the intake) I found the build up on the secondary valves had reached critical mass and was starting to break off and enter the valve seats.( I don't think grampa ever got on the throttle) This will require me to tear into this engine deeply (way more than I planed) so I've decided to do the right thing and have it gone through and freshened up and a couple of small upgrades (fixes) done also. Who in Minnesota does work on these monsters and can I trust the guy to do a good job. Just need the block checked out and the heads gone through.

This is where it gets spendy,

I'm afraid it's gone from bad to worse. I pulled the heads and found that I had one cylinder bore that has a pretty good size scrape in it, "crap" so it's off to the machine shop or bust. This is going to get ugly soon.
I'll try to get a pic up later.
