I would think places that do Z engine work might also do roadster U20's.
(Alvin, got some hints?). Other than that, Mike Young can make
recommendations.
I've had excellent work done at a machine shop in Burlingame near Hwy 101, but
the last time was a dozen years ago and I did most of the work. I had them
grind a crankshaft and block, and they properly pressed in the jackshaft
bearings (some shops might do it wrong, blocking the oil path); also ground
valve seats and installed new valves. They had experience with roadster
engines and sourced their parts from Dean Apostal. I'll check if they're still
in business and can still work on U-20's.
