my slant buildup

well FINALLY!!!
I went by the machine shop last week, 2x. In between those 2 trips they called me (see, they DO have my number!!) and he gave me a final price, all done, all in. The 2nd trip was Friday to drop off the $$... and was told "that's IT, even if they "find something else" and that it was time to "treat that head like I'm in a hurry whether I am or not". An improvement, the block and crank took 9 months, the head "only" took 3 months.... I can't get out there today, as I had a "service call" of sorts to check on for work, on the way home today... oil leak on a state cop car that the guy wanted to have towed to me.... actually in the direction I have to go, to go home anyway....(it's fixed, no tow needed) machine shop is 15 miles the "wrong" way....
am going after it tomorrow after work.
the biggest problem has been that even though I hunted and pecked out a "spec sheet" of sorts detailing what I wanted done to the head.... and they seemed to have "forgotten" about that/ though I saw it on the bench right next to my engine's head when I went in Friday..... each time I went by and asked if they had done "X" to my head yet it was like "surprise" that I'd wanted that operation done. and looking at my sheet I left with the head originally, I haven't asked for anything that wasn't on there to begin with. I asked for new guides if needed. I dunno if they needed that yet.
I dunno if they did a single angle or 3 angle VJ.
They DID finish off my start to a port/polish, and they did mag the head to be sure that neither I, or they, broke thru while porting. I dunno how much time they have in that part of the job, I know I had a day and a 1/2 into porting as far as I dared to go, before I took it in.
I told them I want 100K durability restored, this is a "truck motor" that will be sometimes used as one.
had to ask them 3x to be sure to add seats at least to the exhaust side. They initially ground new seats sized to the O/S valves (that I supplied) directly into the head casting. and then acted "surprised" that I wanted actual seats put in. which is all things that happen to a "back burner" build, things wanted get forgotten.
the other hangup was they were worried that the 0.070" I asked for the head to be shaved would be "too much" for a /6 head. Got them past that issue too.
Ive used these guys before and they do, do good work.
