Is that price for new pistons? Bent valve means the valve hit the piston

 

No, they only said to replace exhaust valves. Of course, they are charging for everything. Removal of engine, taking to machine shop, parts, etc.

But, I've decided to buy aftermarket valves (ferrea or supertech) and retainers and other misc. parts needed to rebuild top end locally (not dealer).

Any advice on reliable aftermarket valve brands? I'm leaning towards ferrea because of good reviews I've read so far.

 

wow that a ripped off price, have a shop take out your head and bring it to a machine shop. cost me like 450 to replace 6 of my valves.

backyard head removed(free)
valve jobs(450 w/ parts)

 

Where did you get your valve job at?

Any recommended shops in socal?

 

Sorry for picking fun at you before op i thought you paid 2500 just for valves. Pull the head & replacing valves isnt hard todo its sucks your not in NY or else i'd help a brother out.

It's all good!

I just wanted to hear what others have paid for similar work.

 

Portflow is a great shop to look into in Socal.Portflow

 

Don't need to pull the motor to do a valve job, just the head op.
