So after 4 years since I had my swap done, I finally installed those e30 m3 beauty covers on the firewall. Just to make everything look more sanitary in my engine bay. I like it. Took me 4 years too long, but it's done.
Next is raising my car and getting the oil pan installed.@IRON-E30 aka Edwin:D

Dropped off my M20 single mass at Vellios again, dealt with a different person. I think their pricing just depends on who you deal with, the day of the week, the time of day, the color of your skin, etc lol as this time I was quoted $135, told him I had $120 cash on me and he took it.
Getting it lightened and balanced again, just like last time. Its time to get the 2.8 build started since the Datsun is juuuuuuuuuuuusssssssssssssssttttttttt about done..Simon

Unfortunately no Simon, they are more old school muscle car guys.
In my travels I've only met 1 shop who specializes in european builds and they are exuberantly (spell check) expensive, are behind 3 and a half months in work and are literally hidden from the public. Shop is in inglewood though, so might be appealing if you want to talk with them.@IRON-E30 aka Edwin:D

I'm pretty sure he means the euro shop is 3 months behind.
I took my m52 head to Vellios. So far they pressure checked, surfaced, checked valve guides and seats and valve faces, and cleaned it. So far this has cost $155.
All the exhaust valves and exhaust guides need to be replaced, which adds another 300 or so to the starting price of a valve job, at $275.
Rebuilding that head has gotten expensive fast, but I trust their word/work.
I'm going to send them a second head to check out, to compare, see if it's in better condition
