Got a pair of PI heads off a Crown Vic. My buddy/mechanic offered to clean them up, tear them down, lap the valves, install new valve seals, and reassemble. Head #1 was a breeze. He took apart #2 and found a badly scored cam journal and some scoring on the cam surface that rode on it. I found Dura-Bond cam bearings https://www.summitracing.com/parts/dur-fa-3/overview/make/ford but am told installation requires line boring the cam towers. However, we can't find anybody in the Cleveland area who does this. I posted on Muscle Mustangs Ohio on Facebook and got crickets. Anybody here have any suggestions as to who can do it?
Anybody know a shop that repairs bad 2v cam journals?

I can sell you a cylinder head that is cheaper than doing all that mumbo jumbo

Do you need the Driver side head or Passenger side?

Ya thats passenger. I have a head I took off the driver side of a Crown Vic. I believe you can make the driver head work on the passenger side by swapping the oil galley plugs.
