    Heads machined .020

    He quoted me 500 to recess the valves. Already paid him 200 to resurface the heads. I'd rather get the 200 back and spend it for new heads. I'm going to at least see if the shop will give me my money back and have him buy my heads off me for like 500-600. Then buy new heads and I'll only have...

    Heads machined .020

    He was just trying to explain away his shitty work. I told him I didn't think that new heads could be that far off and he just kept denying that he could have taken that much off. I asked him if he wanted to measure the heads again to confirm what the other shop measured. He said he didn't need...

    Heads machined .020

    The machine shop told me that heads are not all the same and that maybe both heads must have been smaller because he only took off .012. Not the .020 the other shopped measured. I asked if he measured them first and he told me he shouldn't of had to. Now he wants me to pay for used heads out of...

I'm sure he is going to try to get out of replacing the heads and try to say they are fine I just need different gaskets. But he machined them .020 when at...

    Heads machined .020

    So will the Y bridge be a problem now no matter what gasket I use because he took .020 off the head? if he recesses the valve seats .010 - .015 and I use the c grade gaskets would that work? Or is that to much for the valves to be recessed?

    Heads machined .020

    I'm not looking to pay for either. At least not the full amount. This head job is going on 3 months now because of the machine shop and finding time to actually work on it.

    Heads machined .020

    We did some research and people said that there could be alignment issues with a gasket thicker than the C. The new heads are going to be around 1000. And 600 to sink the valves.

    Heads machined .020

    I took my lly heads to get machined. when I got them back the heads were rough and I was told they need to be almost a glass finish. So he sanded it smooth. We started putting the engine back together and my buddy who is doing the work said he didn't have enough clearance between the valves and...
