a local guy. prety cheap too i thought.

it was $325 for fixing the head, surfacing both, valve job on both, checking and shiming the springs. seems like a good deal to me.

sound like a killer deal and they are fresh. The cost of new ones would have been rough.

Looks like they reshaped and polished the chambers too.I bet you'll have fewer detonation problems with the polished chambers.They do look good.

Looks great! I used to do stuff like that all the time when I worked in a welding and machine shop. If you would see what it looks like half way though the process, you probable would have been like WTF, but it always looks killer when its done right.

Mmmmm....oatmeal cookies!

They look good man, but I must've missed as to why they were damaged. What caused damage on the outer edge like that?
