Am I being ripped off?!
Ok I sent a set of heads (stock ls1) for a valve job with 2 sets of Manley Valves (2.02, 1.60) with a stock lenght. The place calls me and says that the 1.60 would not fit the seat, even if they where to cut the seat. I was told that the 1.60 is the biggest u could go without going with a larger seat? Then I get another call saying that my 2.02 (stock length) valves are too short and would not fit, so I have to go with their valves for both. Sounds like they are trying to get me for every penny off this valve job, but again I may be wrong.
Does this sound right to you? Before I point any fingers I just wanted to get some feed back

Assuming you have stock length 2.02" valves, they should fit. As for the 1.60" exhaust valve, I have been told the same by two different shops - 1.57" is the largest that will fit in the stock seat.
