What are you guys paying to get heads resurfaced and all work needed for headgaskets. Just looking for an average before I go out to find a machinist
Per set.190-230 per head I assume.
$650 to $1,300, done correctly with valve job, corrected height and on the high end is if it needs valve stem job also.

Very important in my opinion. Almost every head has to get 6+ thousandths shaved off of it and that just puts your valves that much closer to your Pistons without the proper valve job.How important or needed is a valve job? The quote I got to have my truck done it says pressure tested and machined flat. As far as I know my truck is bonestock 140k miles and healthy. 2004 BTW.
Don't know the shops or the situation, but there are some machine shops around me that I'll never use again regardless of how cheap something is. I'll pay more for quality work.... I've seen too many heads, blocks, cranks come back with issues or have to be sent back out.Now tell me the difference here. Just called a local shop and they get 320.00 for magnaflux, clean, valve job, and resurfacing. And then I called ucf and they get 1950.00
