Maged heads
Hot Tanked

Assembled
Thanks Alex

Yes, that sounds great for around here. The shops around here charge 80 for a hot tank and 80-110 to mill anything really. So you should be OK be central Illinois rates.

Wow 80-110 to mill things down there? I've found places up near Chicago to mill a set of heads for $50-60.

Either way, that price sounds decent. Are they providing new valves as well? If so, that's a hell of a price then I'd say. Prices for valve jobs around here were like $320 or something using stock valves and it didn't include hot tanking or screw in studs or anything like that

I paid $112.50 for a crank grind and $275.00 for a rotating assembly balance. Those are good prices, I would not complain.
