Bore & Hone-$142
Deck-$125
Balance-$225

I've found with several shops in this area that the bore & hone is almost exactly the same and the balance is always around $225.

never ported... but polishing and gasket matching is easy.

if you want to get into port work you want to have a flow bench so you can physicly *see* what you are doing.
