Ya your are really vague with what you are looking for so it is hard to give out a rec here. You need what kind of machining? If it is motor specific then QMP in the valley is great. If you want a sleeved block then look no further than Steve at Racing engine development in Oceanside. He knows more than most about how to sleeve a block properly. He does a lot of blocks for off road racers that punish theirs. He is who I am going to for mine, but he really only does the sleeving and bore. You need to take it someplace else for the finish hone like QMP. My friend sells a lot of finished blocks to Optima series and NASA series racers around the country and he uses QMP only. His motors do not fail either. A few of his are still going strong after 3 seasons of racing without rebuilds and they are owned by shops that are sponsors on here.

Just basic valve jobs, surface perhaps a guide or liner if it needs.
Familiar with the bigger names prefer someone who does it all himself not farming it out or an hourly guy in a rush.
