Yes, don't ever tell anyone: I am not in a big hurry.
Been there done that. '67 383 heads for a valve job.
Had to go over there and told him I want the heads now after 4 months, will pay you for what you have into them so far. I have one of my nieghbors that will finish them. He had them done the following week.
Now I do all of my valve jobs in house after that fiasco. Killed the momentum on the engine build.
