me know if what I paid seems reasonable? I've had work done at this particular shop and consider them the best around, so the quality of work isn't questioned. Keep in mind I supplied all parts (valves, springs, guides, cam bearings, freeze plugs, etc.).
Also I delivered a disassembled engine, and I'm assembling the engine. </div>
