crazy88,
A good machine shop can install new valve seats in a head. Usually this was done to allow the use of unleaded gas, so this is really nothing new.  If you bundle all the head work for one shop, you may get a break on pricing. Just a thought.


Depending how far gone they are we may be able to fix the valve seat and tip the valves to keep the shims in a usable range. If not we have new valve seats we can install.

Hey man. Just for informational purposes, would I be able to send y'all my head to get decked and a valve job. And how much would I be looking at?
