I just had Al at AJRS redo the heads on the 2.0.....$750 using used (in spec)valves.



edit: That was flycutting, drilling and installing insert on one plug thread, new guides, two used valves, checking springs and valves for tolerances, and bead blasting.

Your thread heading reminds me of a joke...


I have heard of heads being refreshed for as little as $500 and up to $1000

Len did mine a few years ago. New springs, valves, retainers, guides, flycut, etc. Seems like it was $800 or so. Worth it knowing it was done right.

I just remember the punchline being that in the right (or wrong depending on your point of view) neighborhood a good head job can cost as little as a swig off your whiskey flask...
