I posted this on the tech side but i seem to get better/faster results here.

I have had some problems lately trying to get my head gaskets to seal...I can't get the copper ones to work, somebody said that they have to be retorqued like a few heat cycles later while the engine is warm.. I can't get everything apart fast enough for that... So I called up trick flow and they said to use felpro 1006.. well I called summit directly afterwards and ordered them... Now Im finding out that they are for o-ring type heads.. (thanks summit and trickflow for not telling me this!!! )

What is all involved in the machine work to have this done.. On average how expencive is it? The gaskets will be here tomorrow, would the machine shop need the actual gaskets to do the work on them? (thinking about taking the heads up there early in the morning if i can) How long will it take them?
