Well, I took the #1 intake valve spring off and gave the valve a feel (remember, the motor with 100 miles on it bent a pushrod last week). Found that I could barely move the #1 intake valve. Pulled the head, and took out the valve. Stem and guide all scored up. Back to the machine shop with my head (and receipt). Not that I'm a pessimist but I know that they'll problably be nasty with me, and not fix the problem. What a sad day. I'm just glad I checked rather than just putting on another pushrod and going again.
:cry:

Boy...that does suck. :cry:
These days it seems like you have to pay thru the nose to get poor workmanship, then get treated like crap when you try to get it fixed right. :roll:

When I built my engine, even though the machinist was highly recommended I checked everything he'd done, I even pulled the valves out of the seats and mic'ed the new valve stems and the guide bores.

1 hour of measuring is worth some $$$ and time in my book.
