WRX Blown Head Gasket in Oahu

I have a 2002 WRX with blown head gasket with 107k miles. I am looking for good suby guy/shop to rebuild. Any recommendations? Kimo

For further reference,...Would Snyder's or Ted's machine shop be your best options?

Does Snyders or Teds do the engine work? I am over committed with no time on my hands.
Thanks.

snyders does do machine work like resurfacing your heads and pressure testing but im not sure if they actually rebuild your engine for you...

on a side note, i have a pair of brand new Cometic Head Gaskets if your interested

I recommend snyder for machine work and seth at sonics for engine work... Snyder, did a good job on my fiend M3 heads and Sonic has done a terrific job on my engine thus far, to include stand alone tunning(dyno and road).

i think if you take the heads to Snyders, Iʻll have to drop the engine out of the car. then take the Heads there.

Call them, ask them

Blown HG doesn't necessarily mean your heads need to be re-worked. Once you get your heads off, check for warping and flatness. If there is evidence of either of those two, then you'll need to get your heads machined.
