Don't know about the valve job, but...

The Townsand site has $600 labor - $171 parts for the head gasket R&R. I did one myself in about 8 hours, but mine's not a Turbo. I had to buy a couple tools (torx socket for head bolts, better torque wrench). Thing is, once you've got it apart, you might wan to do the timing chain/chain tensioner, but you can save some big labor bucks DIY on this one.
Good Luck
