Hey guys so my car jumped a tooth on timing while trying to get it to start so the pistons should be fine.
Anyway anyone have any idea how much a valve job would cost me on this car? Or should i yank the head off and take it to a machine shop? Otherwise I'm looking at around 300$ for a used head on craigslist.
Don't buy a used head unless you absolutely need too. You can find a rebuilder to do it for $225 if you look around. But keep in mind that you might need to change the valves too depending on how many valves got bent after the belt snapped. And a head gasket set too, to put it back together, so more or less you will spend around $450+ if you do it yourself and if you have someone else do it, a lot more. But like I said, redo your head. You don't know what you will get with a used head.
