Ironhead head specs

[big andy]

Well took these heads back to the shop that put all the new parts in when i told him the valve height was off .He looked at me like i was a fool he said I measured the valve height and he set them at 1380 just over the minimum allowed.So I took out my cheap auto store digital vernier caliper and was about to measure them from the guide shoulder to the tip of the valve stem as shown in the fsm .Well he snatched the head off me and said using my cheap ass vernier caliper was an insult to him and he promptly got his larger and no doubt more expensive caliper and took to measuring the valve height .guess what he got the same measurement as mine did.So he said come back the next day and he will have ground the seats down to bring the height to spec.So after paying 750 for the job with me supplying all the parts and sixteen hours driving and two hundred bucks in fuel.And dont forget the ear bashing off the wife.What have learned from this experience .One getting work done on old harleys in oz sucks big time .Two allways check work you get done even if you think they are a good company to deal with .Never think because the work was done by trades qualified persons.That its right .We all make mistakes.So after this these heads are good to install .yeh. But still have to deal with the wife.Wonder if flowers will work
