So far I haven't followed a single machine shop that I didn't find crap work. I won't say a name but they are in Gresham Or. Stripped some 429 ford heads down to find they installed positive valve stem seals as umbrella seals lol then they didn't install hard seats for the exhaust that the customer paid for. Also cheap valves,springs and retainers.

6hrs but this little stroker Chevy is ready for the streets. This is why aftermarket cranks are by the hr. The weight jumps around after you start getting close. After I dropped below 3g it started moving 30 degrees as I crept up on being under 2g. Really under 4g is fine for a low rpm street killer. But I like to get under 2g and it required a full hr to get the separation back but now it's perfect. Front is 1.82g@ 179* Rear is 1.69g @ 0*
