Hey guys I need advice on my engine repair. My coolant tube came off as I was driving causing my truck to over heat and cause a ticking noise.It ended up being the seat and guide under the valve that moved a fracion of a inch due to the over heating. The mechanic is telling me that the best thing to do is have 2 remained heads installed for $3,500 a piece so $7,000 just for parts(which I dont really want to spend that much money) or the cheaper fix is to have the problem side head machined and seat/guide repaired for $2,500 or $3,000 for both side's to be machined . Do you guys think the second option is a fair price for $2,500 and should I have both sides machined? Also would you guys recomend doing lifter and rocker replacement since he is in there? And why? Also is there any reputable machine shops in southern california that do quality work for a decent price?? please help, thanks!
