My intentions were fully explained to the shop before the work was done. I had them shaved to 63cc to have the compression where I wanted. I also had the pockets matched and seats re cut for 3angles. Gave him the cam chart and told him that I needed the springs installed. A few weeks later, I was told they were ready to pick up but when I arrived, I noticed that the springs were what came on them from the factory. The lunati springs were on my stock heads still and I told them that they needed to be put on the speedmaster heads and leave the inner springs out for break in again. He said to stop back the next day and it would be done. I was going to break it in on his dyno as I did with a previous motor. Next day I picked them up and installed them on the block. My bill was 1100$. 2 yrs later the car was back from the paint shop and I was at the point where it was time to install it but I still had to set preload etc. I noticed that the dampers were also taken out so I decided to install them myself. That's when I noticed that they were way shorter than the ones removed and by chance the originals were sitting on a shelf nearby. That's when I found out the difference in installed height. I questioned him and he told me to call comp cams and find springs that would work. Well comp cams had the same recording as lunati and I was trying to contact them both to see if they had the springs I needed. The shop should have checked that when they changed the springs over. I shouldn't have had to tell them how to do their job. What kind of machine shop, especially a race shop would just take spring and not check them? They already had their money and left me with a catastrophic failure waiting to happen. I cannot explain it any clearer. If you think I should be at blame for that, then so be it.
