cost of rebuilding a head

[Raymond]

Hi I was hoping someone here would know how much it should cost to have a 16 Valve dual overhead cam head rebuilt.

Search online for a rebuilt head for your engine.
Call an auto machine shop in the area for a specific quote to save the hassle and expense of shipping. If you don’t know a good place in your area visit a parts store and ask the counter guys for a recommendation.

Based on my experience in MN a good shop will clean, inspect and deck the surface for $200 – 300. About 2x that if they do a valve job. You still have to buy a gasket set if you are going to remove and replace it yourself. Also the gasket set will probably come with valve guide seals that the machine shop will use if they grind the valves.
