What was the point of the 2 pics while it was still in the box? lol... Oookay.
Take the valves out, and give us some more pics. Has it been ported? Did they file down the valve guides?

'0.00 skimmed', doesnt that mean nothing has been taking off?

Didnt have the ports gas flowed as that was over £300 extra for something that wouldnt have really benefited me for what im after with the engine.
Ill call and ask how much it was skimmed by, wont have been much i wouldnt have thought.

Just called to ask about the skimming:
It had to be done twice as at some point there was a repair on the head between 2 chambers which was revealed after the first skim. The repair was checked that it was 100% fine and then with a bit of additional repair reskimmed to flat the surface a little bit more
I remember them mentioning that when i phoned up initially to ask how it was all going.
The figure he gave was between 8 and 10 (No idea how much that is, you guys tell me?) im guessing 0.8mm-1mm?

Yeah, most likely.
A bit off that they charged you twice.

As long as the jobs done right the £25 doesnt matter too much tbh, the repair is fine so im happy.
Plus from the actual quote i got initially to what ive been charged im actually just over £4 better off lol.
