The operation is included in any quality head job, no matter what name is on it. For that reason, a competent shop would know the number for any head, including Olds.

Here is a short explanation. Works for any OHV GM, Ford, or Chrysler I've done.

Based on his previous information, I was assuming they would not pass the first test. I should have continued, regardless.

If they took enough time to make them all the same height, odds are, they set them correctly. The actual height must still be checked, but only on on the two end valves.
