Lloyd Elliot is the best porter out there period!
All I have to say is not only is his port work awesome but resently I had some issues with valve float & rather so I sent the heads to Lloyd so he can inspect them & put on nicer springs/ do all the installed heights & I wanted new exhaust valves / guides because mine looked a little hammered from time "probably because the heads have been around so much & through like 4 different cam setups" so somewhere down the line something happened to the exhaust valves/guides. Lloyd Elliot was so helpfull & installed all new valves/guides & I chatted with him for hours about my setup & he helped me throughout every little step, this is 3 years after my purchase of the heads, so if you want a stand up guy & a porter you have to look nowhere else but Lloyd Elliot. He installed new intake valves free of charge aswell & intake/exhaust guides because he stands by his product even though its been through 2 different users & 4 different cam swaps, he also was nice enough to clean the heads right up like they where new & do some more smoothing out in some areas so they look absolutely deadly, like a CNC job without the CNC ridges & missing guide bosses that CNC machine gets you 
I just can't thank him enough, ohh & not to forget he even milled them for me free of charge, I descided at that point I might aswell upgrade the springs & put Bronze liners into the guides, an expensive option but Lloyd made it affordable with all the stuff that he fixed up for me now I could afford extra goodies, might aswell while they were there, so he even told me the seat pressure/open pressure on the springs & tested them all & lapped the valves so they are all .015 all within height so I could safely use the same pushrod size on all the valves & not mickey mouse it This guy stayed in touch throughout everything, chatted with me about setups for hours & explained so many things, replied to each one of my emails asap & I couldn't have asked for better customer service!
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH LLOYD!

Yeah Lloyd is a great guy and he does great work at a great price, what more can you ask for?
I am happy with my heads and can't wait to get this new cam put in! Bunker did you sell yours yet? Maybe NickS will buy it

lloyd is definitely a nice guy
FWIW, .015" variance in valve height is ... not bad, but not good at all. Within .004-.006 shouldn't be difficult on any decent seat & guide machine. .010+ and I'd be wondering if the head was warped & would redo the VJ. It's not terribly critical.. maybe whoever does his valvejobs is stoning them, but I'd doubt it - that went out years ago. Either way, nice guy who seems to do a fair job for a fair price
What were ya sellin again?
