[QUOTE="SlipperySnake, post: 16840849, member: 132229"] Update: Talked with Ron at Fox Lake and although he doesn't work on these heads anymore he highly recommended I speak with Kris Starnes. Got with Kris and sent some videos to him I had of the play in my valve stems while valves are closed. They're bad so I'm sending them off to Kris for full inspection, install new guides and new valve job also due to new guides. Kris and Ron are awesome. Highly recommend at least consulting something with Kris if you are looking into head work. Heard and read nothing but great things about him. Also Ron at Fox Lake charges to speak on the Phone (he didn't charge me as I was unaware of this before I even called, which was cool of him) but after speaking with him his experience and input alone would have been worth it. I was debating just throwing the motor back together with new valve stem seals and sending it again, but I got some good input from him that made me decide otherwise. I'll update once I get the heads back from Kris. Hopefully this will put this thing to rest and I can start enjoying my car. [/QUOTE]
