72 Datsun 240z

Ive got 2 mechanics. One will charge 150usd and do it in my parking. The other wants usd 360 in his shop. Are there any special considerations when removing the head? Torque measurement?

Mark, Tomorrow we will test the car under heavy traffic to see if it starts fouling cylinder 4. I contacted a resurfacing machine shop and they want to charge usd65 just for inspection and 700usd top if the engine needs resurface and installing valve, guides and seals. They say the head needs to be fully inspected before quoting any fees.

Decided to move to Spain and take the datsun with me! Hope i find a good friend or mechanic to help me with the california datsun engine. Anyway i just received new seals, stainless steel valves, guides ans gaskets. Anyone here wants me to carry out a last test before removing the head? Choke issue was solved with a vise grip straightening the cable where it fastens to the front carb.
