got a phone call from A1 MACHINE today..

here is what they did//

4 new EXHAUST VALVES
STANDARD REBUILT HEAD / resurfaced/ cleaned/
re studded it
3 angle valve job [basically what stock it right]?

victor head gasket kit [all the top end gaskets] anybody here of them? i was just going to go with oem… but he CLAIMS this is the best for aluminum and steel… /turbo charged cars :blah:

re studded my turbo mani

re studded the factory 02 dump off the turbo

TOTAL CAME TO 539.99!!! i don t know if thats a good price or not… but kind $$ to me for what was done! not like it was anything performancewise done…

i guess im just happy to get it done to put the motor back together

sounds fair,victors gaskets are good!!!

i hope so…!

i’m taking it as the head gasket is metal?

if they are victor reinz, thats what i use…

:dunno:

i think its just normal looking gasket with graphit… i know my oem one had the graphit in it so who knows…

good amount of cash dropped into it… hopefully you keep it in one piece!!!

I try to get a price form machine shops up front, before they do the work. I don’t like suprises.

im still trying to keep under 3k total investment[ including the car] but i think i might of just wnet over! ill find out later when i add all the shit up later…

well, to put it into perspective, a rebuilt head runs roughly 800 bucks…

well then i guess i can t complain to much then :cool:

hells no
