Title: valve job cost...
Post by: grand camino 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.

125.00 per head give or take has been my experience.

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

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.
