Taking Heads To The Machine Shop What Should I have Done?

I'm taking my heads to the machine shop to be reconditioned.  I plan on having them magnafluxed, bronze valve guides installed, hardened exhaust seats and the seats reground.  Do I need to ask for anything else?  Do I need to take my new valves for any reason?  I plan on doing the reassembly myself.  Sorry for the stupid questions but this is my first go at something like this.   ::)

you need to take the new valaves to have the guides sized correctly
make sure the guides are trimmed for enough clearance for the cam lift & have th eheads surfaced to make Sure they are flat

B5 Charger

I'm just using a stock magnum grind cam.  I would hope that they trim the guides enough to clear that lift.  What do I need for them to do a port match?

And a competent machinist.
Don't laugh, they aren't always that easy to find around where I live.

gaskets or the machinists ?
tough to find a good machinist here

Ghoste

Well, now that you mention it, I've had trouble sometimes getting gaskets too.  Must be the stranglehold those guys at Kelly's Engines had around here huh?

B5 Charger

Do I take the valley pan or just the intake and eshaust gaskets?

Ghoste

Exhaust and valley pan.  Throw the paper intakes in the trash.
