If they are building the motor and you supplied the heads I would say yes. They want to make sure that the springs are good and everything is aligned properly. I would say if they built the heads up themselves at least they know it was done properly. I guess they feel better if they checked it out then just slapping them on the motor. I know I would feel better as well.

if I were a shop that wanted to stand behind my work, I'd double check all parts supplied by the customer

last thing he'd want would be a valve dropping and trashing the motor due to parts supplied and his name getting slandered locally and on the internet. that type of thing happens waaaay too often
