You may recall my recent story of tight valve guides after a valve job.
 Well. I just walked into the same shop with another head and was aranging
for a no-lead head job.  All was going well until I reminded them of the
tight guides on the last job and would they be careful this time around?

At that point I was invited to take my work somewhere else.  I believe the
axact words were, "We don't want you to be unhappy again, so I think we'll
pass on this one", whereupon they flat refused to take the job.  Do you
suppose they know that they can't do a good job?  FWIW, it was Downers Grove
Auto Parts, Downers Grove, Illinois.
