only if he follows your advice,,
what I am trying to say, not everyone is a smart as The MOPAROFFICIAL.
About all of the engine machine shops that I work with, and they are good ones, will do what the customer askes them to do.
And that is because if you don't give the shop specific instructions, they will quote and do the job as cheaply as possible, because they think you are just price
shopping and will go with the most inexpensive option.
The good shops have all the business they want, usually the same guy that is working the sale counter also runs the head mill, the rod resize machine, or some other
part of the business, they ain't going to chit chat with you,, unless you show some knowledge of what you want, and you give them the opportunity to explain what they can deliver. And you are willing to pay for additional operations,, sometimes it is helpful to let them know exactly what you know,for example " I want this done right, I know the engine dropped a valve seat, there may be hidden issues, what would you do?
Your local engine machine shop probably has good people in it, but they are not your mama.
