Just checked in Tuscaloosa for machining, got totaled about $240 for all this:
Cam Bearings installed
Freeze plugs
Cylinder head and block cleaning
Honing bores
Standard Valve job
Some sort of disposal fee for waste material???

Does that sound reasonable?
Im gonna check a few more places just to be sure I'm getting the best deal, but also to make sure some place is reputable. I was recommended this place from another machine shop that didn't do automotive stuff, just industrial machining and parts.
