Machine shops in the central Md South central PA region?

[laserjock]

Does anybody have a good recommendation for a machine shop in the central Maryland region? Even as far north as Gettysburg, PA or out toward Hagarstown would be fine. I'd consider DC as well but I generally stay away from DC if possible. I'm looking for somebody who knows these engines and does quality work at a reasonable price. I'm trying to decide what all I'm going to do for the rebuild and set my budget so I can make some other decisions. Even if you know a good place and you think it is a little out of range let me know.

Thanks guys.

I'd recommend Rutts Machine. They are probably the best in the area. http://ruttsmachine.com/

You can also check http://gunthersmachine.com/ (There in Walkersville, MD.) I had them clean, magnaflux, vacuum test the valves, & resurface the head on my inline 6 diesel Unimog.

Thanks guys. Diesel, I didn't know you were a unimog guy. Still have it? Those things are really cool. My buddy has been looking for one for a while.

Now the follow up question. I've never had one of these done. What specifically do I want them to do and not do in addition to the general stuff? Anything I want to specifically ask them to do on not to do? I'm considering a full balanced rotating assembly and also contemplating having the pistons shaved a touch to compliment what I anticipate will be a Moose pump with Moose Boost. There are a lot of areas I know a little about. There are a very few areas I know a lot about. This is one of those places where I'm asking the community to educate me a bit because I'm afraid I only know enough to be dangerous when it comes to engine machine work. It's just one of the few things I was never involved in.

Thanks!
