Hi all,
I'm at the point where I am ready to have my cylinder heads from the 164S rebuilt. I have purchased the following from Centerline Alfa:
>Performance valve springs
>New intake/exhaust valves
>New valve guides
>New seals
>New stem seals
Now, since I have the heads off the car and all the parts to go in, it shouldn't be that expensive, right? I should just be able to take this to a machine shop, right? My first quote was $460 per head for JUST labor (Roselli's - San Jose). For that price, I could get a nice set from Centerline already rebuilt! Actually, less!
What do you all think is the going rate for the rebuild? Does anyone know any reputable shops around the bay area in Northern California?
Thanks all!
