Just curious what everyone is paying for a valve job and head surface? The machine shop I just took mine too gave me the price and I about crapped my pants.
typical machine shop bill for head surface and valve job?

Not a bad price, but i would set up my own valve lash, not that a hundred is out of line for the effort.

Sounds right on to me. My last head was around 500 for a very thorough cleaning (I'd eat off it) and 3 angle valve job with new stem seals. Excellent machinist too. He's the only person I would trust with a motor build at this moment.
Eric at peak performance, longmont, co.
Anyways, a valve job should be a few hundred. Any cheaper and they don't value their own time very much...

theres a company local thats offering remanufacted head with 7mge cams for $500. what you guys think about that. Doesnt say anything about requiring a core.
I had mine taken apart, heat straightened, cleaned, new Toyota Valves, Springs, Retainers, valve stems/seals, 3 angle valve job, and port matched and milled to a >17RA value for $320 (plus the Toyota Parts) when I got mine done. So you look to be right in the range.

That price sounds pretty much impossible.
If they actually used oem valves, springs, & retainers, then the parts cost alone would exceed that total price.
I would expect to pay at least $320 for just the machine work.
I bought a reman from Clearwater cylinder heads out of florida. Came with ge cams, and everything set to spec. Ready to drop in. I will be giving the head a better finish though as it deffinately not come with a mirror like finish.

This is correct, I paid for those on top of the $320 in machining work.
