I have heard good things about Flow Tech but that was for a friend's Blaster.
I am sending both of my NOS Tecate cylinders to Harry:

Dan, In MHO, if you know a descent machine shop, bring it there. they all pretty much have the same equipment to most anything. They mostly ask you on how much to port and so on..just saying... but not all machine shops will work on our stuff...

I used ken oconnor for a couple crank rebuilds that came out very nice and true. for the cylinder boring and plating I've used millennium technologies with outstanding results. I've never used Flotek, but they have a good rep. Eric Gorr is another in my area. When I get machine work done I go for a place that does that specific thing every day. That is the best way to ensure quality.

Catch me if you can
Roy, engine rebuilding shops have some ability but your average machine shop does not understand what porting is; What to grind out, how to change the port timing on the cylinder etc etc etc.
Any of us can grind material and smooth out the exhaust ports. I expect to pay hundreds for porting and larger valves for my 350RX...........
I have to find a shop too and I;m sending them a NOS head.
All our government does is distract us while they steal from us, misspend our tax $ and ruin our country
