How much for head skim?
^^ as above
to strip a head, skim it(by quite a bit), then re-assemble it...
just looking for approximate prices
Cheers

depends on how much the valve stem seals are but i would say about £150- £200
£40 skim
£30 ish for valve stem seals
£40 ish for lapping valves in
£50- 100 labour
thats roughly what a place will charge...

be careful mate i think they are on shims instead of hydrolic lifters so if you take the cams out they might need reshimming which will cost a bit more so just leave it to them

cheers lads,
thought they were hydraulic,
I want to take a lot off as the compression is silly low at the moment,
its around 6.5:1 so taking a bit off might help
