48611, Building a Head price?
Posted by pn0ymahal, Apr-07-03 07:18 PM
well whats a fair price to build a spare head? no port/polish or so.
if you had it done, what did you get installed, and how much was it?valves, guides,seats etc etc
thanks guys

Pull/install valves about $50
If the valves/valve seats need to be machines add another $100
Get the head cleaned up around $20
Another $30 to $40 for milling if needed to flatten head or if desired for compression boost.

For parts give Bob Kise @ Forum Dodge a call.

Get the valves cover gasket, spark plug well gaskets, cam seals, valve stem seals, you'll need a head gasket

im going to get me some ss swirl valves. hmm is the 160 with a valve job?
for a head to build is,
valve seats, valve guides, valves, valve springs and retainers, rockers and lifters right? besides cams of course...
