As I said in the chat, if you already have it apart and the price is right, it can't hurt you to get it done. 235K is a lot of miles.

I just had the valve seats regrinded when I had my head rebuilt. I thought about a 3 angle, has anyone compared the two to see the gains from a 3 angle vs just a rebuild.

Yeah, I'm aware. My answer was somewhat tongue in cheek. I guess on this subject I'm a little touchy/arrogant. I just think a single grind to the face is not a valve job. I can't imagine a shop doing that (though I know some do) and just calling it a day. Especially on an engine that is so dependant on the design of air flow in the head.
And yes I do 5 angles to get that little bit more out of the engine. I also unshroud the valves and grind down some of the guide.

Im going with a three angle.
Disassemble, something with the guides (cant remember), clean everything, resurface surfaces, new valve seals, three angle valve job (he also said something about 2 angles on the valves as well), and completely reassemble everything to factory specs. He said it will look like a brand new head.
For $215.00.
Clean and surface is $65.00 and the three angle is $150.00. The rest is all included. I budgeted $200.00 for the headwork anyways
I know the three angle makes the head flow a little bit better, but how much, if any, of a difference does this make?

Just did a compression check.
Engine was at operating temp.

Symptom of the HG or...?
Background on the car:
The HG is not MLS that is currently on the car. Also when I bought the car 16k miles ago, I was told that the water pump went bad so they replaced it.
EDIT: Below im thinking like a used car dealer... Now im fairly positive that did not include the HG. Im thinking like a used car dealer here... If the valves are not bent or anything, and all it needs is a water pump... why replace anything else but the timing belt?
