Good machine shop?

[Steve_B]

Hi

Not sure if this is the right place but I'm looking for a machine shop to check if my head needs skimming and an acid dip. Can anyone recommend a place in the london area? Looked in the recommendations section but couldn't find anything.

Cheers
Steve

where did you end up going mate?

steel rule and tho gades is all you need to do it yourself. 

or have it skimmed anyway it's the best way tbh

What Ive used in the past is "engineers Blue"  and a machined block of steel(perfect flat edge)

Have your head all nice and clean and check the obvious parts with a precision steel rule,
then smear a tiny amount of the blue on the machined block of steel, and rub in figure of 8's over the head, the blue will stick to any high points and will not stick on the low points.
When you look at the head after a complete going over, you will know whats high and whats low,

im in south london, any trouble or if you want me to do it for you let me know
