what does the average machine shop cost to machine the heads and should i get a valve job done if i send the heads in to get machined

My machine shop charged me $200 for milling the head flat and a complete valve job. $40 just to mill the head without the valve job. I also had him re-shim the valves for an extra $70 since it would have likely cost me close to that just to buy the shims and tools. Total with tax was $300.

oh ok well they wanted 80 for resurfaceing the heads and 360 for a valve job with all new valves or i found a 3.4 for 900 with wiring harness and ecm just have to pull it my self but no biggie so who ever would want to buy a 3.0 with 170000 miles on it and the wiring harness and ecm im selling it and most of the dash also out of a 94 toyota p/u also in fairly good condition its the gray color and im in phoenix AZ so let me know sorry about the big paragraph

I just did my HG a couple of months ago... it is sorta depressing to spend 1k and get the same slow, gas guzzling junk engine back running (without leaks of course).
Hindsight... would have swapped for a 1uzfe
