Valves, Cams,& the works

It depends on the shop, it typically includes everything I listed except for replacing the valve stem seals and testing the springs... it's a rather vague term.

Valve job, spring test, set valve adjustment, mill head slightly to true it up, glassbead cleaning, check for cracks, check for warping, install seals (you should provide from your head gasket set).

I took off the head and the cams are worn pretty bad. I dont know what its called but the place where you put the caps on and bolt the cam down to the head has groves in about 5 or 6 places, what should I do. Ive been told that if you replace the cam then you have to replace the valve seats and grind the valve to make all the clearances perfect. Like take a feeler gauge and make sure it meets the manuals requirements. Is this true. Ive thought about a performance cam would I have to change the injectors too. And mess with the CPU, or will it correct the fuel/air ratio by itself
