what does a typical valve job cost on a 2000 5.4?

thanks

 

Kinda depends...are you going to have it done at a shop, start to finish?

or...removing the heads and replacing them when they are rebuilt?

how much work are you doing?

 

Depends on whats involved. Start to finish having a shop do all including the R&R I wouldnt be shocked at a bill of over 4 grand especially at a dealer. If you did it all yourself maybe 1000-1500..

 

i will be removing the heads and taking them to a shop for the work

 

Gaskets will set you back near $500. Then whatever the shop charges you to redo the heads. Then theres always unexpected stuff that comes up..

 

Might as well throw a new chain, tensioners and guides while your opened up.


Gaskets or head gasket replacement at a shop? Gaskets are about 100-120 I think, then the rest of the gaskets up are around another 60. Oh and head studs. Hot tanking, freeze plugs etc.. Yea, adds up quick

 

Thats right. rock auto has the gaskets and bolts for around $200. Been awhile since I looked.
