Message	Unfortunately, there was momentary valve to piston contact. The rotating assembly moves fines, I'm just slightly concerned with the valve impact potentially causing issues down the road. (Maybe I'm just thinking too much into this). Is it worth getting it checked out at the machine shop? Heads are going to the machine shop tomorrow. It doesn't look (to me) that any of the valves are bent, but I'd rather get it checked out before wasting any more time. What do you all think? The metal shavings that are everywhere was from a recent porting job, please ignore. Alex
