im gonna use Colorado custom cyl heads but I was quoted $149 for dip, surface and valve guides. I got the kit from lucky8!

Weird.

Mine were:

Hot tanked
Valve Job
Surface Heads
Install replacement guides
Disassemble / assemble

~$450



Depending on how many miles you have on your truck, the valves might need to be looked at etc hence the difference in price?

I'm surprised at the amount of carbon left on the valves. Personally, l'd not be happy about that. But, it is easily remedy...just hit them with a wire wheel. Good luck, with the rest of the install.

So, they didn’t do valve guides? They would have cleaned the valves if they were removed from the head..?
