Hi all, sorry in advance if I've posted this in the wrong section.
I'm looking for recommendations for a mechanic in Newcastle (or even Sydney/Central Coast) that has good experience with Falcons. In particular, BOSS/3V V8 timing jobs. My 5.4L 3V V8 is coughing and spluttering off the line which I'm thinking is a bad cam phaser (sheared pin). I'd like to get the phasers, chains and oil pump replaced but I'm hesitant to give it to a mechanic that hasn't worked on this motor before. Thanks a lot.

Goff & Sons Blacktown.
LPG nut, die hard falcon guy. Clevo's, Windsors and anything old school. Seen him do Porche boxsters. Builds his own street motors. Does a lot of F series trucks and ford based yank stuff as well. Very well known for his work on T series too. He has owners drive their cars interstate for his knowledge & skills. Workshop doesn't look like much but what he doesn't know about fords isn't worth knowing. Also does a lot of GTs. X series through to FG. He's old school..

For anything to do with Falcons in metropolitan Sydney I've had a good experience with Autotech Engineering in Granville (Forum sponsor) and Tunehouse in Marrickville for various jobs and fixes.
There's someone else who does Fords I wouldn't want to go back to nor mention right away due to barely doing the job or worse not taking utmost care but I noticed they haven't been mentioned here on the forums for over 10 years. I can definitely PM their name unless a mod approves their name to be publicly shown. I can't comment on other independents that I haven't used.
