Default quick advice please?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

so i took my head to the machine shop to get it resurfaced. they said they checked it and 1 intake port and 1 exhaust port isnt sealing correctly. they said to fix that its a $450 fix!!!!


to me thats pretty hefty!

thanks

they explained it a little better to me when i went down there. they said that 1 exhaust and 1 intake ports for the valves isnt holding hardly any vacuum. so im getting a 3 angle valve job and polishing the head for that much....

doesnt seem too bad, what do you guys think?
