Head rebuild problem, Is this guy a dick head? Options

[DavidSweden]

I am rebuilding my engine a 2.0 from 76. I took the heads in to be reconditioned.
The machinist told me that the valve stems needed replacing, the valves needed regrinding and the seats machined. He said this would be no problem.

He know tells me that the new valve stems are not at the same angle as the originals and after machining the seats the valves sit too low in the valve seats. He says new valve seats are required
As you will understand I am not happy especially when he reassured me that he could do the job no problem.

Is this guy incompetent dick head or is this a common problem,?
Appreciate feed back before I go to the shop on Wednesday.

I think the cost of shipping to the states and returning the heads to Sweden, that might be fixed beyond repair, would be cost prohibitive. Easier, faster, less expensive to just buy a ready to go set. No telling what import duties might be given the tax structure in Sweden.

With all due respect to Len, there is a fairly large community of Type 4 builders in the EU, which can be tax free for him to work with.

It was an idea for him to post pics of the head, just to see if they can be fixed properly at this point.
