Just talked to a couple shops, and the best price I was quoted was $20 for an inspection and $100 to do the whole thing (resurface, pressure test, valve seats, spring tensions, etc...).

Two part question, is $100 a good price for the works, and do I really need anything more? Or should I spend the money and have it done just becuase I have it out?

 

If you've got the money, it never hurts, as long as the shop is reputeable, and isnt going to **** it up.

 

when i had my 20R head fully rebuilt, it ran me about $275 in labor. i had it fully cleaned, the head was resurfaced on a mill, valve guides replaced, seats cut for larger valves and lapped, and fully assembled. i also had them put about an hour of port work in on the intake side.

had it been a basic run of the mill rebuild, it probably would've run about $100-150, if you supplied all the parts.

 

$100?!?!?!?!?!

I am looking at $500 for my 3VZ-E heads...

I will find out tonight if they need work *crosses fingers*

 

Ya thats a good deal. I paid 120 for resurfacing, valve job, cleaning, and a weld.

 

good deal and it would be worth it

i spent about $400 for my L-series head. ported, new & oversize valves/seats, milled, & everything else.

 

The prices i got to pressure test, clean and resurface, replace 4 intake vales and lap was $250-270 here in ripoff-ville...

Everyone seems to get better prices than me though. I think the mechanics are a little greedy around here.
