I redo stuff for myself and for friends/club members etc.  Never done 
it professionally, either with 'Vairs or the Mopar stuff.  I take my 
own chances with valve seats... :)

Last time I was inside someone else's engine I had them farm out the 
heads to Michael L.  That settled any questions about seats.
