Message: [QUOTE="Lt.Dan, post: 1424992, member: 24137"] Well, i got a phone call from the shop today. And im at a loss for words. I dont know a whole lot about this job, so ill try and repeat it the best i can. Basically he called me and said theres a slight problem, not a big one, but a problem. The machine shop said they recommend all valves be replaced, along with guides, and needs 2 valve seats. Thats not the problem though, the problem being that after measuring some stuff, they came to the conclusion that because of machining etc, there will now be valve to piston contact. So they said they either need to source .030" shorter push rods, or shim the rockers somehow. Now again, i dont know too much about this stuff, but how the HELL did the push rods all of a sudden need to be .030" shorter??? They didnt take .030" of material off the heads or the block??? They said to do the valve job on these, it would be $900 for parts and labor (mostly parts he said). Then they have to figure out the pushrod/rocker arm thing. Or $1500 for re-manufactured heads. What are my options here guys? I obviously want the job done right the first time, so shimming the rocker arms sounds kinda sketchy to me. Debating on calling them and saying im already in this job $3k more than i wanted to be originally, and im just going to hold off and come pick up my stuff as it sits... [/QUOTE]
