I was responding smart alecky cause I thought you were being smart alecky with me. Hope you can forgive me. Truly sorry. Second, I am replacing the head gasket in my automobile and will probably take my head to be machined. I already found a place that does it locally. My question is this: Will I need to remove the whole rocker arm assembly for them to machine the head flat or can I leave everything on? Thank you in advance.
