I suggested it as it's not unknown for a shop to have 'rehabbed' Cyl heads on the shelf for a quick replacement. Given that it saves time (days) over sending the customer's cyl head out for the..Required.. resurface.
Again it's a simple job, the Only tricky bit is cam chain timing /setup.
Ohhhh the complete Headgasket set/kit (including Valve stem seals) is $60 Retail. Plus Machine shop resurface charge ($200 ?) But they dissasemble the head and reassemble it after resurfacing the thing. Most Machine shops will Not mix up parts, they of all people, know better. Add a few hours re and re labour and yer looking at approx $1k. Family friend ??
