Your heads are looking good. Got them real clean yesterday and the valves and seats grinded today. They should be done by your friday deadline you asked for.

I believe either Tommy or Shawn did the valves and seats. Shawn will probably assemble but we'll see in the morning cause whoever is doing it said they would show me how to adjust the valves and everything. And I did the cleaning =] haha

Machine shop finished the heads today. they went ahead and gave me a 5 angle no extra cost I was pretty happy about that but today I called and told LINDA the valve clearance is whitch were .006-.008 intake and .008-.010 exhauste . later around 5 I go up their and I asked here what they set the valves clearance at and she said I looked it up and had them put them at .007 intake and .014 exhaust. I said thats to loose and I called Brian Crower while I was their and said this is what they said then she started arguing with me. I was like thay make the god damn cams they would know so Steve came out and said its fine I will fix it monday morning.
She really knows how to fuck shit up.
