I'm getting ready to do head gaskets, ARP studs and o-rings on my 6.0L powerstroke. What are the best machine shops for this kind of work, that have actually done work on 6.0's? Anywhere in Oklahoma, but prefer Tulsa area.

Also if you've had a bad experience (or know someone who has) with a machine shop, chime in as well so I'll know who to stay away from.

Thanks in advance.

There is a place on 61st and HWY 169 called RC or something like that. They are next to Crown Neon. That is where we have been taking our 06 F250 and 08 f350 The guy has a super clean shop seems to do a good job and is fair on price

If you're doing it yourself, Lucito W. Of Mingo on 55th.
He's grumpy, but he's one of two shops in Tulsa that can get a head smooth enough for a MLS gasket. The other is Memorial. Unless you're doing 100K+ a year with them, they don't have time for you.

The studs will need to be retorqued with the fire ringed heads. There really isn't a need for the rings unless you are building a drag truck. I would take them to Stanley Morton Machine in Broken Arrow 81st and 177th. Tom Lucito is an expensive princess with hit and miss work.
