Default staggered valves after cut

hi guys,

so i sent my head to have my valve seats cut for my new supertech valves, in a reputable shop in my country.

i installed the valves and springs today and i noticed that the valves are staggered and not in the same level,

i cant go to the shop today cause they are closed for the weekend so i'm asking here,

is that ok? i'm guessing no but what do i know, maby somone didnt look at the gauge when cutting the seats?









thanks

it's not that they did a bad job. some seats need to be grinded more then others for a perfect seal. so the valve height might be a little different. just make sure you do a valve lash and ull be fine.
