You should call around to other machine shops, if you are unhappy with Kath, also... saying stuff to friends is 1 thing about Kath, but posting it on here is a shit storm waiting to happen. Someone said sue them.. to late they tried to resolve the issue and you turned them down. I am not sticking up for anyone here, but you guys build engines for street and race.. why didn't u guys double check the parts, how do you figure out if a machined head needs a thicker head gasket to compensate for machining difference from side to side?? I wish I could hook you up with some names of shops, but most in our area have closed anyways.. bring on the flames.

Why wouldn't Kath check their work as well? Or does Mike have to carry around something to check measurement's every time he goes there? And it's everyone else talking about going after them for money, not Mike.
