    How does it cost to have heads clean and a valve job done? It would be for a 75 mav with a 302.

    Thanks

    I did it locally for about $100 including hot tanking, replacing a couple of bent valves, reseating, and repainting.

    That was about 5 years ago.

    It will ultimately depend on how many valves/springs need to be replaced as well as condition of the valve guides.A simple valve/seat grind and new seals should be around 125.00...150.00
