Yes and no.
When the gasket popped 2 weeks ago I noticed that I floated exhaust valves enough to contact the piston. Well first thing I did was check installed spring height, which I should have done the first time. With the height they installed them at I only had 80 psi seat pressure  . Sad because I brought them a baggie with tons of shims that I have collected over the years to use on my heads. When I took the heads in I told them the situation and left feeling assured that they would be shimmed to proper height. I was told earlier this week that heads would be ready to pickup on Friday......great! I call them up in the afternoon to see I they were ready to go and they said .......no  . Fine, I will just assemble the heads myself, no big deal really. I tell them I am on my way to pick them up and they said OK. When I show up I asked......Where are the shims? Them: Uhhhh, er, uhhhh what shims? Me: WTF do you mean, what shims? Them: I dont know what happened, but we don't have any. Me: None! Them: Nope So I left. I will be heading in Monday to retrieve all my parts, so I can finish the job. On a positive note I found a supplier for the shims and they should be here Tuesday. So maybe it will only be another week.
