Default Good engine work near ct

I have a zippers built muscle 124" motor.
She is starting to burn some oil wich is creating a ping under hard quick throttle openings.
I need to have the top end done.I dont feel like haulin by bike 5.5 hours to zippers in maryland. The only competent shops near me I have found are Johnson engine tech in RI. or Rosas in huntington ny.
Anyone know or a good shop in CT?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Tim

I stopped by Pauls shop in Bristol.
Nice guy knows his motors.
I feel confident he will do a great job freshening up my 124inch orgasm.
Im going to have Ed in the shop behind Riverside Cycle machine that paul rents out(Reds Cycle) pull the motor and do a few other things while its apart.
The motor kicks back pretty hard at times Paul recomends an all ***** starter drive.
Thinking about dressin up the sleeper a bit with a chrome primary.Im not realy big on fancy im more no frills all go not show.
