Hi, just figured I tell how my visit to the machine shop went. I took my "new/used" head apart and saw the intakes were reamed. I did a little (not finished) port, bowl, exhaust grinding. The machinist, who was an older man (good), and in business since before I moved here (1986) was not fazed by my port work. So he looks at my head and valves and asks what I want. I tell him I'm not ready to drop the head off now but...What would it cost to do the valve job? I'm going to get the new springs and seals, and if he can weld in the port divider. So he looks at the valves and says the stems are worn, you might as well get new valves. OK and I don't do welding. OK. So here is the price. 12 guides, $12 each, ($144) , grind 12 seats, $12 each, ($144). Your gonna assemble it yourself? Sure. And you want it milled? Yes, the exhaust side milled too. OK, $100 for that. So it looks like the machine work is $400. How does that sound to you guys? I do know another machine shop and I will see what they say. What have you guys been doing about the port divider? I got mine to fit pretty !@#$ tight, but it does need to be milled. Are ther other options besides welding? Thanks
