That is the going rate to have any good shop hand work any head.
What, exactly, does that $1800 get the OP? I saw reference to: - valve & seat rework - bowl enlarging - some chamber work
Am I missing something else? Big-name shop or not, that seems like a lot of $$$ for just that amount of work.
PLEASE tell me I've misread what that quote includes...
It all boils down to how much faith you have in XX shop. EVERYTHING has gone up in price EVERYTHING. Why not highly specialized shops with highly specialized skills with highly specialized equipment? I charge $105 CDN/hr and its barely enough, but you know what? People pay or they have to learn how to do it themselves--then they realize how cheap it was to send it to the machine shop in the first place. On the flip side of this coin are the idiot machine shops that still charge $100 bucks for a valve job or $75.00 for a line hone--they must like working at a loss. J.Rob
