100% this.
I had the same when I did my DT... Apparently if I didn't skim it, it would obviously fail again... It was spot on.
I don't see why people are so set on skimming a head that might not even need it. If the car hasn't overheated and checks out with a straight edge... It's fine.
Anyway, it's a shitter it's gone Steve, but they're not a bad job at all really . At least you'll have some peace of mind after, too.
