Valve job with head gasket replacement?

I don't know that I buy HIS explanation, but here's mine. If you don't at LEAST remove and lap the valves in when you go to all the trouble to remove the heads, you've missed a golden opportunity.

Sorta like payin for a "workin gal" and then just lettin her take a nap in your bed.

Bout the stupidest thing logically imaginable, IMO. No way would I do a head gasket job for myself or anyone else and not at least disassemble the heads and inspect everything. If you don't at least put a dal indicator on them in the guides, how do you know they are not warped? You don't.

While I don't necessarily agree with his reasoning, I certainly agree with his goal. What's a basic valve job gonna add to the total cost of a head gasket job? 125? 150?

Kinda stupid not to if you ask me. But then, people do stupid everyday.
