So in reality:

A) Your guy is very anal (which is a good thing).
B) Heads passed Pressure Check and Inspection.

Now the interesting info:

Who set up the heads for you for the Roller Camshaft, etc initially?
Assume it was not the supplier of the heads unless they offered a Hydraulic
Flat Tappet Camshaft head and a Roller Camshaft head which seems unlikely,
so a third party was involved who did the initial assembly of the heads,
and also the crappy valve job.

AND APPARENTLY YOU PLAN ON USING THESE HEADS DOWN THE ROAD.

Sounds typical for work out there and the need to check everything BEFORE
you bolt them on the engine.

Am I correct, Tom S?
