Adsit sells them rebuilt with a valve job for only $500, plus the core
charge. I don't know how they do it and manage to make a profit.
By not replacing much of anything?
The last head job I had done cost me $120. That's to disassemble, clean, mill
two aluminum heads flat, cut 12 three angle valve seats and 12 valves, trim 12
valve stems to regain the original pushrod geometry, and reassemble. Would have
been a bargain if I'd noticed they got a valve keeper in wrong before I put the
head back on the engine. That was a PITA to fix, would have taken me two minutes
if I'd inspected the head carefully before I put it back on the engine.
