914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Price to machine Valve Guide Bosses for dual Springs?

Posted by: tornik550 Feb 17 2011, 08:40 PM

Does anybody know an approximate price for machining valve guide bosses for dual valve springs? I contacted three local places and I got three very different quotes ($100, 300, 500).

Thanks in advance

'Bout an hour of machine work, should cost $100 or less. I used to do it for $75.

I paid quite a bit less than $100

The problem is that I do not trust the place that quoted me $100. Other than rimco, where is a good place to have it done? I have nothing against rimco- just looking for options- preferably closer to Ohio.

Does Larry's Offroad in Dayton still do machine work?
They had OK prices in the 90's
