"$845.30. He said that it needs all new valves, seats, and valve guides."
Carl,
Does that include prepping/machining and reassembly of the head?
What are your options?
Yes. It will be ready to bolt on to the block when they are done. That is how all machine shops I have dealt with do it.
One option is to find another machine shop and go back to this one and say no thanks and take my head back.
