first off it is a great sign to see a second generation with 187k miles on it. That leaves me to safe place as far as mine goes.

THat assesment is probably right. I think the dealer maintennce book calls for about 10 hours + of labor to pull a head. I would shop around though for a better price as I could see you getting it for half that rate. FInd someone that will do it if you go get all the parts. Thats where a high markup is, that could save you quite a bit as well.
