Aircraft Maintance O300D C170

OK so my last annual in August I had 1 Cylinder with low compression and last week maximum RPM was slightly over 2000 so no flying. Compression test showed #4 with a stuck exhaust valve wide open. So we have to pull #4 and the #2 was the cylinder with the low compression in August so we pull both and I drive both to a cylinder shop 30 minutes away. The shop grinds all 4 valves, installs 2 new exhaust valves and valve guides and only takes 1 hour and I am out the door .....Get This for only $180 with yellow tags. My A&P and I reinstall every thing and now all 6 cylinders have over 65/ 80 cold @ 35 degrees. I paid the A&PAI $550 and now it flies great again for only $730 and I could not be happier. What would that have cost on an 911 SC?
