As far as price goes, here in CA there are a few that do good work. You supply the valve stem seals.

The cheapest I know of is $200 with heads being decked, but the guy I use charges $250. The price can go all the way to $450. Sometimes you get what you pay for, sometimes not. Good luck in your search.

This shop is in the forum member recommended list. Try calling them and asking if they can refer you to a good machine shop.

Try G&S, they scraped my heads and pulled a number of sheared bolts/studs for me - well, and the dealer uses them but the prices aren't higher if you go direct to them:

Address: 5756 S Lowell Blvd, Littleton, CO 80123

Sorry for the really late reply but I ended up finding a small shop that did a great job.
