ALL the shops I talked to here (Dayton, Ohio) said they would have to send out the heads to be machined and all kinds of other work would need to be done. NONE would just do the seals and reassemble the engine. (The Mitsu. factory shop manual shows 16.5 hrs. per side of the engine to do the seals on the DOHC V6 3.5. That's 30 hrs. of labor at $70+/Hr. + Machining & parts <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />

You are talking about head rebuilt here not just seal replacement. It's not necessary to remove heads to replace the seals. Can be done on the car itself. Still those prices are outrageous. You can get brand new head for $600-700
