Me and shane at DB were thinking that there might still be some bent valves or a bad valves guide. Because there was some oil on the number one cylinder and the other three cylinder look good.

The car run's way better then what it did. It put down 330 to the wheels. Shane was telling me that it STILL A 130 to 150 hp off of what it should be with my set up. It just stop making power even with more boost so that's why we think it the head. I did a compression and leak down tests and it was all good. So now I am thinking it a boost leak.
It sounds like the shop you went to in mankato just did a quick fix at your expense. If there are valves with an angle job and then they throw in just a normal valve they are doing it wrong. Im guessing that they just repaired it and that they didnt pull out all of your other valves and check them for minor imperfections and the guides for issues. Im guessing there is still some damage in your head. I would pull it off at some point and send it in to a nice DSM specific shop to get it checked out and reworked over.
