A valve Job out here in Ca. is $99.99 for an inspection plus parts, any parts replacement raises the labor with replacement.

to have a head completely rebuilt with new valve, springs, seals and guides, with inspection, magnaflux, resurfacing of gasket area's and pressure testing is around $350.00 to $400.00 per head all parts included.

if I was to send a stripped head over to be Magnaflux and resurfaced, would run would run around $175.00 per head and I would have to lap the valves myself. ( did this for the 352 in my thunderbird) not a hard job just time consuming lapping by hand. after I install the valves I would still have to take it for pressure testing which would cost more.
