    $100 for a valve job?!? or is that just to replace the seals?

    Yah, the only way i would do that is if it were somebody with a good reputation and it was a "hookup" price, sounds a little too cheap for me, I would rather pay the extra to someplace I knew would do a good job,,, FYI i recommend Dels machine shop is Sac,, they did a realy nice job on my block, but i would not call them cheap at all..

    for a "decent" valve job, it would be around $300.
