My advice to you would be to remove and reinstall the heads yourself. If you can do that -- you can
save a lot in labor. I assume your motor doesn't run at all? Or does it? How do you know the valves are bent?
You can send the heads to KTR, ND, or ecs. I think they can all do the work. That way, all you have to do is remove and install and you should save yourself about 600-1000 bucks. The head work if limited to one head will be from 300-600, most likely, if the damage is confined to 1 or 2 bent valves.
Maybe Jason@ND can comment further on their pricing but I think KTR is about 600 in labor for both heads for the work, IIRC. Good luck, be sure to post what you do/find.
