valve job cost...
« on: May 16 2013, 09:34:46 PM »
  I will be getting a performance machine shop to do a 3 angle valve job and setting my pre-tested v/springs to my specific  heights with several variances.  Whats a fair price for this?     thanks.

depends upon where you live and what the shop thinks their work is worth

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

The extra's obviously affect the cost. When you add in magnaflux, pressure test, bad springs, bad seats, bad valves...In our Amish neck of the woods buck and a 1/4 seems the norm.
