Head at machine shop

[Icicle]

Machine shop has my head and asked me to bring by the valve stem seals from the gasket kit I bought off Onur.

So that I don’t have to drive out there twice, anything else they will ask for that I’m unaware of
or not thinking of?

(Noob head rebuilder, first one I’ve had done!)

If they are going to set up your valve clearances, I’d bring the camshafts, shim buckets, and bearing caps for the camshafts.

That way they can do the valve measurements correctly by either moving shims around and/or tipping the valves.

Head bolts so that an expert can be paid a few bucks to measure them to see if they're OK for re-use.

Thanks Beno, they have those things.

I disnt think about that one Doug, thanks.

The spec is in the FSM and it's nice peace of mind. I reused mine 120k ago after having them all measured by the machinist for accuracy. Good insurance. Provide the shop with the spec and the points on the bolts to measure, and ask them to measure them for ya.

It runs, and runs smoothly, thanks to everyone for the help (and parts).
