Sounds like a reasonable wintertime DIY job to me!
Does the valve job include new valve guides or just a regrind?

I hope you fare better than me, I need new exhaust valves as well, timing sprockets, chains, P's and C's, it became 7k real quick, and I'm not even done buying new parts yet.

well if you don't have the space (and can not rent suitable space) then your decision is made in the DIY issue.
If $1k is parts you would also need to add machine shop fees to that to get a true DIY cost, so maybe that $3k is a bit less?

Sound fair to me. Check Wayne's rebuild book, it goes over labor and parts cost in detail.

Very reasonable...
...the bottom end is quite simple and not that many hours in labor (or parts) provided there isn't machining required.

Thanks all. I just picked up Wayne's 101 book and should have ordered the Rebuild at the same time. I figured I'd have the shop take car of this job and I'll spend the time on the easier stuff!!
