What would you guys say is an average price for a valve job on a 99 SH. I know there are alot of variables but I'm just looking for a range so I know what to expect when the dealer quotes me. I have a minimum of one bent or burnt valve, theres no compression on cylinder 1. The others should be fine but probably need a good cleaning. So, any ideas?

 

you might try checking your valve lash cause if youve played with that and over tightened it then that will make you have a leak in compression. but usually about 200 - 500 depending

 

you dont take you head to the dealer, they will just source it out to a machine shop and charge you for it. unless you are having the dealer pull the head and all that BS which will end up costing you your left nut. if you bring the head to a shop yourself, somewhere around $200 for a good valve job. meaning that they set the depth of the cuts on a machine so they can be repeated.
