Having both my heads rebuilt (including ~$150 for 10 bent valves) cost a total of $485. And they were PUUUUURDY!
The first shop I talked to wanted $600 JUST to remove the heads.


So where did you go for this? (meaning a special head/engine rebuilder)? I tried looking up places by me, and of the 3 I called, 2 never called back and the 3rd would only do an entire engine rebuild, for north of $3000. Did you pull the heads yourself, send them out and reinstall them? Did you have "supervision" <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> or a shop manual? Sorry for all the dumb questions.
