That is an interesting perspective Chip. Thanks for sharing it from the machinists' point of view. My 511 went through three shops before it found a fellow that follows through with his projects because a) he enjoys accomplishment and b) he likes money. My kind of guy. That and he has a sense of humor so it ends up being a pretty fun experience. I feel pretty fortunate after getting jacked around eight ways. Now that I said that he will probably retire and dissapear to a far off island where golf courses are a plenty and hemi valve trian issues are not discussed lol.
