Good shop to work on my C32
alright, long story with my car so i'll be brief about it. I was running Needswings cork gaskets in my car. Due to me spraying a small about of 3m 45 (instead of 77) the gaskets ended up burning up and going into my intake valves. The valves were slightly tapping, i took it apart, cleaned it all out. Valves still tapped. Then it started misfiring.
The car sat for months and months since i didn't have time for it. I had one local MB shop turn me down basically. He was just saying find another engine
The head mechanic at the local Benz dealer turned it down as well.
Finally my uncle's friends shop said they wanted to work on it. Had a previous MB tech there and had connections with people from an old MB shop around here. Basically it's a joke, the car has sat inside their shop for months and months with no work being done. All they said was there was coolant in one of the cylinders, which i'm guessing could be a leaking intercooler. The car has sat for a year.
Anyways, the time has come and i need this car back on the road. I live in east TN. Specifically the tri cities (bristol, kingsport, johnson city). Does anybody know of a shop to work on this thing? Heads most likely have to be pulled off and cleaned up.

Try posting on the www.crossfireforum.org (also an IB owned site). They have a few current and former memebrs from TN with the same M112K engine.
