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.

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 misunderstood.
