How much does a double overheard cam head weigh?

I want to send it out to get it worked on, so I was trying to figure out the shipping costs.

Well I want to send the head out to get a 3 or 5 angle valve job done.

I thought that meant I had to send the whole head.

It does. But you can leave out - cams, cam caps, cam rails, rocker arms, rocker shafts.

That stuff i listed is worth 10 lbs easy.

So all I really need to leave in the head are the valves, springs, and retainers?

If all you want is a valve job, yes.
