The major thing to remind the machine shop about is that the valve stems 
vary enough from one to another that they have to be individually 
fitted.  Most modern engines, particularly the Japanese variety, have 
such standard stem thicknesses that the machine shop can measure one and 
drill all the guides to that measurement, knowing that things will turn 
out well.  Not the TR6!  Ask Mike Hammond (tr_man@hotmail.com) about a 
competent machine shop in the Sacramento area.
