WOW!!!!!!!! 1800.00 MORE.
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...
I suspect they will be doing some repairs. Sounds like the chambers need some welding. Who knows what they need to do to fix the valve job.
I always charge more when I have to fix someone else's junk work. I especially hate trying to fix absurd valve jobs.
Sometimes, as I got older, I just turned some of the fix my junk [censored] away. Just wasn't worth the crap.
