You're getting the free ride, you can at least set it up (cost/scheduling).

You guys that want data so bad.....
Would you like to pay for my heads to be inspected for guide wear? Would you like to see if any valve bounce damage is present?
I have over 16K miles and 9 track days on my WCCH heads.
No? too soon? Let me know when. Maybe after 25K and 15 track days? Just let me know ........

I have two different local establishments. One is a Chevy dealer the other a well know Forum sponsor. They are both as qualified as Rich at Able.
It will be documented on video !!!
I am not driving 400 or 500 miles each way.
Seems like you are trying to WIGGLE out of this

Well, although Rich would be a good choice it is unnecessary to go that far. I have a local Chevy dealer with mechanic experienced in this and I have Ryne at CMS.
So figure out what a fair price is and I'm sure one of my guys will match or beat it. Let me know when you have the cash ready.
I will video the whole thing and inspect any parts paying contributors ask to have documented.
Well it looks like several of you seem serious. I am too. Just put it together and let me know.

Howie, you offered to have your heads checked with the only condition that others pay for it.
I offered to contribute with the only condition that the work be performed by the shop that is surely the most experienced in the country, by a wide margin, in performing the wiggle test. Unsure at that time how far that shop is from you, I even suggested we pay your fuel.
As your namesake says, "deal or no deal". No substitution of shop, no video or witnesses needed, no changes to the deal offered. If you don't want to make the drive, fine, but the personal attacks and strawman arguments are uncalled for:
Now if you want to renegotiate your original offer, and if others want to move forward with a substitute shop, then I would contribute after the fact if a video (in this case) shows that the wiggle test was performed in accordance with the service manual guidelines. All 16 valves, as I originally specified. No money up front since there is no record of the shops you offered having any experience or detailed knowledge of the test.

DHI would be willing to chip in at least, and perhaps others would well -- to the extent that it would cover all the cost. Get in contact with Rich at Abel Chevy and find out what it would cost to do a wiggle test of all 16 valves, including dial indicator readings, and let us know.
Toss round trip fuel cost in as well as a separate line item

I am certain that there are GM dealers in the Southern California that have competent techs but unfortunately we don't know who they are and most of us are afraid to try one out since the majority of dealers aren't in that "competent" league past Chevrolets trucks, vans and mainline cars.
