hello there

Give Paul a call at FWMotorsports (formerly DBTuned), I am sure he will recommend you somewhere great to get your resurfacing done.

Regardless of where you go get the job done. I would say rebuild it as you know it will be like a fresh new motor. Buying a low mileage or replacement isn't always the best idea, unless you know the history behind it. You'll save yourself a lot of trouble in the long run.

+1 for Del's Machine shop. My company uses Del's for all our work and have yet to come across a issue.

I talked to Paul at FW a few months ago before doing my GF's HG's and he has his done at a place in Auburn. Never got the name from him though. Apparently they also do a 3 angle valve job too with the service, but that might just be for anything Paul sends their way.
