I took the head off my diesel tractor to a repair shop in Iowa. they were going to weld some cracks, do the valves etc. I was told to leave all the studs in the head. Yep they lost them, they removed the energy cells with a punch and big hammer destroying 1/2 of them. They surfaced the head. When I got it back The bolt holes were full of welding slag. I took it back to them 3 times. The last time I got it back it came with a piece of cardboard bolted across the bottom of it. I never thought to remove it before I left with it. When we took the cardboard off, one of their guys had run a grinder across the length of the head. They did replace the energy cells with some used ones that we had to surface to fit. They replaced the studs with some used ones that we had to cut off because they were too long. The special oil line fittings I had to buy new. they never did find them. I found a place a lot closer to home that does heads, they ran it thru their machine and cleaned up the surface for me.
