kick the machinist to the side ? i am fully set up for putting in seats .cutting seats with stones and 3d cutters etc. but i will talk a customer in to a better set of new heads or if the old heads just need more work then there worth .there still alot of work for me to do on a rebuild Hot tank .rods. pin fitting .hang pistons.deck. bore.polish crank .set up heads. so i am happy with that. still some new parts need a tune up . so the machinist will never be left out. some parts of the job may slow down or go away .like crank grinding were you can buy a new crank cheaper then fixing a old crank thrust weld and grind or any more then a grind less it a $600and up crank .the price of the crank grinder and upkeep is not worth having one if your only doing two cranks a week many shop s have seen crank grinding go down in stock mild hp auto cranks were you can buy new for not much more then a grind
