Scope of work after blown headgasket?

[LINUS]

After a lengthy removal process that ended in me cutting the lower intake manifold (I'll post a pic of that when I post some other pics) so I didn't have to fish the wiring harness through it, I can say the head is finally out.
So far I took the upper and lower intake to work and blew them out with a steam pressure washer, and I'll hit the throttlebody with carb cleaner before install, but the biggest questions I've got are about the head itself.

I plan to take the head to the local machine shop Friday, and I wonder what all I should have done.

I plan to take the cams, bearing caps, and lifters along so I can get them to shim the valve while they check the head for warp, but would it be worth it to get the valves ground too?

Any other work I should ask to have done?

127K on it now, and I want to see 250 - 300K before any other major work.

Anybody?

Didn't see the mileage but I'd do as little as possible. If the head meets the flatness criteria don't get it milled. Some will do this as a regular thing but it will screw with your valve timing because of the overhead cams. I yanked my head and did absolutely nothing to it except for cleaning the gasket surface. As for the valve clearance I'd do that after installing the head to the block as it would account for any change in the head from being torqued down.

I ended up sending the head to a race shop here that does all the local sprint cars - they aren't too quick but it's summer and the bike is my primary ride, so who cares how long they take?

The boys figured that a valve grind was in order after verifying I didn't cook the head (I didn't) and they would shim the valves a little on the loose side and then let me check 'em again after a thousand or two miles, and go from there. The main thing they really drove home to me was the fact that if I wouldn't eat off the block / piston area before slapping down the new headgasket, it wasn't clean enough to assemble. Good advice to keep in mind.

All cool pics and stuff to be posted when I finish the job.
