A valve job for your vehicle will typically cost about $300.00. However, it generally depends on whether you have a 4 cylinder or a 6 cylinder.
No, you do not have to remove the engine to do a valve job.
A valve job for your 1999 GMC Suburban will cost approximately $800. The parts will cost around $200 and require 10 hours of labor.
Depends on what you have done. If the engine is in good condition and you are just replacing normal stuff then around 500.00. (This includes changing the main and ournal bearings as well as new rings and valve guides). The valve job itself cost me 250 to complete but I had them check everything and re grind the seats. In my case I had to have the crank shaft replaced and re-hone the engine. Replaced one piston and did a valve job. This cost me around 1700.00 when I was all done. Including everything from spark plugs and wires to a new timing belt.
Answera '''valve cover gasket''' is not a $600.00 job it takes about 30mins tops. you could do that your self and save the cash. the valve cover is that piece that is on top of the engine, in some vehicles is the piece that has the "hole" from where you put oil in to the engine. 6 bolts tops.now, if he meant a '''head gasket'' then yes it could be $600.00 or more.On my 93 rodeo I had the valve cover gasket changed and it cost me $500.00. It was the labor that costs so much. The mechanic had to take a lot of stuff off that was around the gasket cover to get to and remove the cover. You may want to ask your mechanic how much of that $600 is labor costs.
That is usually considered a partial valve job and most garages want just do head gaskets without shaving the heads at least and that means removing the heads from the motor(partial valve job). The last valve jog I had done on Ford engine 351 Windsor was about ten year ago and it was $600.00 then, the price know I couldn't tell you. I hope this give you some idealof the cost.
Its called a valve cover gasket kit and the job should cost about 300.00 Parts and labor.
It depends on the year, make, model, accessories, engine and the area you live.
2.3 L engine? You have to remove the complete top part of the engine. Once done, remove the head and send it out for a valve job. They will shave the head to be certain that it is true, and replace any bad valves. The valve job cost around $ 250.00 plus any needed parts. You could do the job in about 8 hours or so.
An engine valve normally needs to be removed from the head for a valve job, or to replace other parts related to its operation like the spring or valve guide. This is normally done when the engine has a poor seal from the valve/valve seat or oil consumption caused by the vavle guide.
Mine cost 4 with a horrible paint job just a good engine and tranny.. after 16k it is my dream.car.
The engine in the Villager is a V-6, and like many transverse engines of this type, can be challenging to do head work on in the car. Depending which head is bad, it might be easier to remove the engine to work on it. If you're going to go to all that trouble, it might be more cost effective to replace the whole engine, depending how much you value the vehicle. In any event, I would not have the heads removed without having them inspected carefully and a valve job done. Expect this to cost $1200 to $2000.
