Hey guys, i just got a quote from a head place that quoted me 500-600 to service, port & polish and put in some new springs in. Does this price sound about right?

How much did u spend on your head?

I told the guys i want it to rev a little better and give it some more 'go'

I got my head resurfaced and tested (pressure test, valve seal tests etc.) for $200. Got quoted an extra $250 - 300 to get the head port polished and shaven.

So I guess it sounds about right for what you get.

Mine was mates rate, but yeah...wasn't too sure as to the quality/amount of port polishing that was going to be done for the price he quoted me.

Always thought $300 was a reasonable price or a port and polish :?.

$300 will get you about three hours worth. not enough to do any reshaping.
so you end up with a nasty polish job

Ahhh okay. Well that's good that I didn't go through with a port and polish then. Saved myself money :D.
