Rebuild or buy a rebuilt?
I've seen rebuilt heads for $370 shipped to my door.
I'm taking the original head(with cams, lifters, valves, etc still attached) to a local machinist he said he'll inspect for $100 and i'm sure he'll deduct that if i have work done.
But i mean i'm already in the hole with only 270 remaining.
HOWEVER, this machinst REALLY knows his stuff. I mean he is to machining what chip foose is to paint and body.
What should I do?
this is from the rebuilt head ad "This head is completely rebuilt. It has been pressure checked for cracks and resurfaced. Guides and seats have been replaced as needed. New VITON valve stem seals have been installed. All heads are given a three angle valve job. All valves have been vacuum checked to ensure proper sealing."
What would all that typically cost plus a thorough cleaning?
