Looking for a place to O-ring 12v head

[oddjobb]

Hey guys. Doing a compound setup on my first gen when I get off deployment and I need a place to do O-rings on my 12v head. Any good places around portland with reasonable prices?

Thanks!

300 bucks at source...price may have changed since I got it done 2 years ago.

That's what I paid in July plus 100 for the machine shop to deck the head.

Which machine shop? If there was a place near gresham or something that would be best. My truck is up near hood river/the dalles. Will be doing the compound work there then driving it back to San Diego. Grew up in the Gorge, but stationed in socal now.

Yup I am at one of the navy bases on coronado, but I am in Iraq and I have washington plates so couldnt have been me haha. There are a few first gens around down there though, what color was it? I met one guy at the auto shop on base that had a 79 crewcab ford he was putting a ppump 12v into and also had a 92 or 93 first gen to boot!

I don't even know. I dropped my head off at Source Auto and thats what Bill told me the machine shop they used cost.

EDIT: WaterLover said they use Ricks in the other head thread

I will have to find this other head thread.

Here you go. I just assumed you had seen it.
Decking Head???

I wanna say the truck was red, maybe two tone red and brown. was more of a farm truck that the kid got when he turned 16 type of thing. it had some sticker on the back about so cal diesels too. Thanks for your time over there!

I will have to keep an eye out for the first gens around, lots of navy and marines around though. I think the one first gen I have noticed was white and a 5 speed.
