Getting my heads rebuilt

If any one has noticed I had a problem with way to much cranking pressure on my original engine build.
I got a set of #8 heads from 2blu442 and they are at the shop where the engine was built.
The machinist and I came to deal today that I pay for the few parts and the 5 angle valve job and he would cover the gasket matching, milling, cutting for the valve seals, pocket porting, and grinding out the EGR bumps in the exhaust, cc'ing the chambers, installing valve springs at the correct height, cleaning and checking for cracks.
I'm lowering the compression to 9-1 so I can burn any monkey **** gas I run into in the small towns up here in Idaho.
Sorry CutlassEFI I just couldn't talk myself into the bigger cam and headers and other related parts plus all the extra work, I do appreciated the effort you made to help me.
If anyone is interested I will have a real nice set of #5 heads for sale in the near future.

Atleast your machine shop is working with you on figuring things out which is hard to come by.
