I just had Al at AJRS redo the heads on the 2.0.....$750 using used (in spec)valves.
edit: That was flycutting, drilling and installing insert on one plug thread, new guides, two used valves, checking springs and valves for tolerances, and bead blasting. |

Your thread heading reminds me of a joke...
I have heard of heads being refreshed for as little as $500 and up to $1000 |

Len did mine a few years ago. New springs, valves, retainers, guides, flycut, etc. Seems like it was $800 or so. Worth it knowing it was done right.

Your thread heading reminds me of a joke... I have heard of heads being refreshed for as little as $500 and up to $1000 I just remember the punchline being that in the right (or wrong depending on your point of view) neighborhood a good head job can cost as little as a swig off your whiskey flask... |
