What a butt wipe.

The shop is a pretty big name here on most of the forums. I contacted the seller and they did agree to refund my origional purchase price.
Only issue is that I already had to send the heads back to them twice at a cost of $400 ($300 for additional labor, $135 in total shipping.) Once to repair a small cosmetic crack that I discovered after removing the paint and the second to replace the valve seats that were all at different heights causing the stems to locate all over the place.
It appears the valves were cut down in order to help get all the valve stems close to the same height which was my origional complaint with the valve seats being at different heights.
