That's about what mine ran.

$350 but with a 2 week turn time... :smt021

 

OK cool, so there in the ballpark then.
This is only the second time I've ever had to get heads checked, so I wasnt sure on the going rate.

I mean the shop already has them, so its too late anyways. But was just curious.

Another shop quoted me $325 with a 2-3 week turn around.

This shop I just took them too has to be the cleanest largest machine shop I've ever seen.(granted I havent seen many) but still. Was shocked at how clean it was.
Last machine shop I went to looked like a hurricane rolled through it.

 

depends on what is wrong as too how much it costs. who did you take them to and did they tell you what was wrong yet. also, don't be scared of a dirty shop. Ive seen some amazing work come out of shops you could barely walk through.

 

I'll txt ya the name, as there not an SV on here.
Not yet, there going thru them, that was just a general quote give or take depending on whats wrong with them.

 

I payed 650 to get mine gone thru with a new valve job and new guides.
Which is what you should have done while they are off..

 

Oh they are going through everything. that $375 was a quote.
There taking them completely apart, and checking everything and then letting me know whats up. :bigtu

 

Ask Nick a MHS.

 

Glad you're having them checked out man. Hope they come back with a clean bill of health.

 

well from visual inspection, everything looked perfect.

I mean the only reason the heads are off is due to an overheat that killed my gaskets, not like I had detonation or something. So hopefully the heat would just warp them some, they can plane them out true, and I'm back in business.

 

How many miles do you have on them?

If you have less then 5k on them then there really is no reason to have them completely taken apart and put back together, unless you severerly overheated the engine, just have them checked for flatness and milled if needed.


Call TEA if you have any questions and tell Mike I sent you.

I had a set of 32v heads checked, new seals and a valve job for 400. Checked the flatness but they were fine..... cash talkes so 300 out the door

 

Have you checked the block yet??

 

sounds right to me. when I worked at a machine shop we used to get $25 each head for pressure test, $50 each for surface and $125 each for a standard valve job. $200/head plus valve seals so you are pretty close.

 

Original quote was $300 to deck, clean up, 3 angle valve job...decided to go new stuff with CNC ported instead though...

 

JJ believe it or not, I have almost 8,000 on the motor already, maybe closer to 10,000 miles.

She truly is my Daily Driver. I drive it everywhere....

Nope Sally, havent had time to do anything, shit the heads would still be in the garage if it wasnt for Amy taking them to the machine shop....

 

Sooo... i seen this and thought it said How much do you pay for head... due to it cutting the repair part off...

LMAO

 

roflmao..

Everyone knows the going rate is 5 dolla's to make you holla

 

Who did you take the heads to??

 

My builder charges 200-250 to completely freshen up a set of heads, redecked, valve job, etc.

 

The going rate around here is $100 an hour. My wifes head seems to be gettin better with each visit. Her mother on the other hand...:smt097
Sorry, Shaggy. I couldn't resist my smartass personality. Hope your heads come out OK too.:bigtu
