    machining cost?

     



    hey all you machine shop guys! What is an average cost of machining a head from 1.94/1.5 to 2.02/1.6 with an unshrouding cut, assuming the gasket surface must be decked and the spring clearance requirements are already taken care of. The new valves dont need to be really high performance just good solid basics.

    In my shop with the parts and labor would be $335.
    This would include the VJ,and bowl work with the "bowl hog",deck,assemble.
    Or right at $295 with the "cheap stainless " valves which I really don't like to run.
