[QUOTE="365 Saleen, post: 16776967, member: 201889"] Anyway, frustrated I finish loading up the short block and cyl heads and pay the final bill, another $2,700 in cash. I get the engine home, get the short block bolted in the car and get ready to install the heads. They are AFR 220 Renegade heads and use Jesel shaft mount rockers. I need to set up the rocker pedestals on the heads and shim them before they go on the engine. I set a clean fluffy towel on the workbench to protect the freshly machined head surface and go about setting up the Jesel pedestals. I pick up the head off of the towel after I am done and there are piles of sand on the towel. I was "WTF"? I go back to the machine shop with the heads and ask what the hell was that about. He tells me that they sandblasted the heads to clean them up and appently did not get all of the sand out. I told him that if I had installed the heads on the engine before setting up the pedestals and sand got in my engine, that he and I would be having a very different type of "conversation". He apologized... They clean out the heads and I go home to install them on the short block. [/QUOTE]
