I moved south of the beltway and need head work. I have all the parts, need valve guides replaced, valves cut and sealed, heads reassembled, etc. I would usually take this to IMA, ASG or Chapman which used to be local to me (and I still may). Any recommendation closer to just south of the beltway, Springfield / Woodbridge area?
Many thanks, Chris 89 Carrera

Try RPM in Newington. Longtime Porsche guys and DE/ Club Race participant. One of the original owners' sons runs the operation these days, I believe. They work on all makes, but may still have a bit of that air-cooled knowledge in-house.

Yes, but Billy Ring is a master with air-cooled engines. He used to work with Dave Coleman, and he redid the top end of my fancy Peter Dawe engine when I over-revved the '86 race car. It was just as smooth and powerful as when Peter Dawe did it. WORTH THE DRIVE!. https://www.performanceautoworkswv.com

I understood. If he wants quality work over convenience, he will drive.
