What the hell am I doing?, head rebuild estimate Options

[bd1308]

Damn this stuff is like greek.I have either a set of 2.0 bus heads I could rebuild, or 1.7L 914 heads and I'm just wanting something I could cruise with for 100k miles.

I understand these new valve seat installation methods are much better than stock, and i printed out len's pricelist and i'd need somethign like this.

1.7L 914 heads:

*Install Valve Seats ($30.00*8)=$240
*Install Valve Guides ($100*2)=$200

There arent any cracks on these heads that I am aware of (currently running them now, no problems)

Should I send them bare or with valves so the valves can be matched with the head?


I dont care about performance, I drive 65-75 and dont care how long it takes to get there, just as long as its reliable to 100k miles at least.

I wish I lived next door to someone who could be like look man, you need this done, and it'll be this much, and if you do it yourself with my machines you'll get it done cheaper or something to that effect.
