A few hundred miles down the road, $180 for all new guides and seals(shop labor included) and what ever a gasket head set costs. $40 for just head gaskets. Of course I installed the heads so if I were to figure I would say you will get charged 5/6 hours for just the R&R of the heads. Not a cheap job.

I paid $200.00 at my local shop but that was to do the valve seals, guides, and also what helped a lot was he took 10 thousands off, and did a good valve job for me too, with 2 degree angle seats. All this really helped the performance of my car, i suggest this just my 2 cents! The total was $280.00 with the cost of a good set of top-end fel-pro gaskets.
