Paid $190 to get 2 cylinder heads worked on and i believe they barely did anything to it.
Thanks for checking it out:

Also they have these things that appear to be inner springs. Like dual valve springs but i can compress them too easily with a flathead screwdriver. Takes about 3pounds of force to move the inner . Did not have these before.

I think it's your floor that's not level. It rocked one direction until you moved it closer to the camera, then it rocked the other.

Use a straight edge across the head.
