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.
