It could be, depending on the type of engine and whether or not there is further damage to the cylinder head. On an American V8 engine, you can usually get the heads refurbished for about $150-$200 each at a reputable cylinder head repair shop. Of course, this does not include the labor to remove and replace the heads on the engine.
If your engine is an older car with a large amount of mileage on it, it may not be worth repairing. If the car itself is in good shape, you may want to consider having a rebuilt engine installed in it. You'll have to weigh the cost advantages yourself.
Because of the introduction of Sintered or powdered metal (PM) seats over 20 years ago, some of the OEM manufacturers are experiencing valve seat failures on relatively new vehicles. Chrysler models with the 3.7 V6, 4.7 V8, HEMI 5.7,6.1 liter and most recently the 3.6 liter V6 introduced in 2011. Ford 1.9 and 2.0 SOHC engines in the Escort and Focus also have this issue. There are many reports and opinions why this is happening but it appears to be a manufacturing issue but in my opinion, the driving force is cost. In our shops we have been replacing PM seats with premium grade traditional seats without a single failure.
