Thanks for the tip on the studs Simon S.
Finally Found a shop that regularly does heads.
They said the used head we supplied didnt pass pressure test and needs valve job. Relatively low mileage on a non overheated head at 125k from a running engine.
We asked that they only LAP the exhaust valves due to Stellite coating.
Is lapping more difficult? Seems like it is unheard of in this area of the Saab exhaust valves being coated. Maybe they just want to make sure that when it's reinstalled it holds good pressure, they are not thinking about long-term longevity.
Would hate to have the valves ground incorrectly and then have that contribute to poor performane or economy, or failure down the road.
