I cant make a recommendation, even for around these parts. I agree with Jerry, there are just not that many machinists with 216 experience around. So you may have to ride buckshot a little bit no matter where you take it. Haggerty did a 216 rebuild, posted articles and a couple of you tube videos that I thought were pretty well done and very interesting. You might consider going through the videos just to see if you can pick up something he4lpful.
