Default Getting the Boxster back!

It's been a month now. Finally getting the bastard back on Saturday. I'm open to guesses for the bill from a Porsche specialist for the following...
Remove engine & gearbox,remove 1-3 head and reseat 4 valves on no.2 cylinder,change oil etc etc.
Parts £50, oil £50.
Guess how much labour?
