So the people doing the head for me just called yesterday and told me they will need another 688 dollars over the 2hundred and 88 dollars I gave them when taking the head to them. The first time I took two head to them and let them pic the one they wanted to use. Then called me and said the head was pitted. So took the head gasket upon request of the shop and the other head. Now this does not make good since and he had called me and woke me up from a nap. So called him back and asked why so much He went through a pitch with me on the phone. Told me he was going to deck the head and I had checked it myself with a straight edge, and it was ok. Told me he would only take thou. off it, he did that with every head. I told him that the engine was set with dome pistons with fly cut for valves. Did not want the piston to hit my spark plugs. So, he also said when was the last time you had machine work done. Told him when the engine was rebuilt. Still think that is way too much money to have a head done when we are using the valves and spring from the other head due to, they are brand new and only 4500 miles on them. Now do you get what the price will be in the end for one head. I will let them get it done but would never ever go back to them. Figure most shops get around 400 or 500 to put a head together with new parts. So has anyone else paid that kind of money to have one head done recently. Could have bought a set of head from 440 source for around 12 hundred dollars.
