I casually asked about heating the head in the oven.
The tech said that it was not cost effective to do that.
I think they have the equipment, but refrain from using it.
?
I might be able to have them do it if I pursue this after pulling the head for inspection.
If I'm lucky it may not be warped. Fingers crossed !!!
I could also find another shop or just buy a Chinese head.
Any comments on the Chinese heads?
I'll use the cam alignment issue on my next conversations with a shop. Thanks.
This shop is well known in the Portland area and is supposed to reliable.
