Comments anyone? I really feel like shit. This is a good kid... but Im not throwing the money away that should've never had to be spent in the first place.
When he brought the head to them, the shop took the head, and with in 2 minuites said it was warped, .005. They told him some valves might be bent... AFTER they hit it with a mallet to free some rust that was on there, they never tried to lube the valves up.
This head had been sitting at the shop on a shelf, waiting for the kid to come up with the money for it.
