[Rufus]

$396. I told him it would have been cheaper to buy the other head but he wanted the whole motor

but what was done to the head that it costed that?

[Rufus]

Milled, complete valve job (including replacing 2 valves), any guides replaced that needed to be, and finally setting the head up for installation (valve gap, torque settings, etc).
