ok i am rebuilding my engine, and have a few questions. I ordered the complete engine rebuild kit with .02 over pistons, so i need to have the block machined. I know they machine the cylinders, and they "deck" the top of it, but what else do they do. also, should i have anything else machined while i am at it?

also, my valves are all out of whack b/c they hit the pistons. Is it hard to rebuild a head? do i need special tools? would it be a better choice to take that in to a shop and have them rebuild it?

Any good machine shops in town?
