Barney, have you tried working with Tom Jasefek. He's in Glendale
Heights...has 30+ years experience with MGs. Does really good work. He's
kind of slow turning around jobs, but he is thorough. He usually works in his
shop from 6pm- 1am. Strange hrs but this is the best time to reach him. His
# is 469-0362, not sure of the area code either 630 or 847 based on the area
code changes.

You may recall my recent story of tight valve guides after a valve job.
Well. I just walked into the same shop with another head and was aranging
for a no-lead head job. All was going well until I reminded them of the
tight guides on the last job and would they be careful this time around?
At that point I was invited to take my work somewhere else. I believe the
axact words were, "We don't want you to be unhappy again, so I think we'll
pass on this one", whereupon they flat refused to take the job. Do you
suppose they know that they can't do a good job? FWIW, it was Downers Grove
Auto Parts, Downers Grove, Illinois.
