Hope he reseats the valves and does the valve clearance again on the new head. Check the clearance before you leave.

.06 to .010 on Intake Side (Thou)
.08 to .012 on Exhaust Side(Thou)

glad that worked out for you, would've have been a shame to chuck that thru the window and accidently take out his purebred guard dog and have Guido come looking for you

sounds like the shop is ok then. Technically if you already paid, your happy with what you got. Hard to argue a service rendered even if its not "good". The more details you can lay out in advance, the better. Any shop worth their salt and wanting to stay in business long term will fix their errors. Been there done that. but with more then $4k into the motor. I learned a lot real fast from that experience.

Yes i think of my self as etremely lucky and i am greatful for the owner of the shop helping me out.

$500 is alot to throw away.
