Unless a miracle happens, my car will not be at SOC.

Yesterday I dropped a valve(again). Probably another valve spring failure just like before.
I guess I should have swapped them all out after the last time, but I did manage to get 3 years in between failures...
I initially got the uprated springs so I could raise my redline to 7,000 without getting any valve float. But as things have progressed in Saab performance land it looks like the stock springs work pretty good and it's the hydralic lifters that are the problem.
Anyways, I need to pull the head and look at the damage and then send the head out for new springs/valve. I don't think I can get this done by SOC.
Does anyone know somebody in Boston area that can handle some good cylinder head work? I really don't feel like shipping the head back to lesco...
