You supply all the parts and still $1200? Heck, bring it up here, I'll do them for that all day long. The head porting/machine work can be done here for $300, say $600 for kit and misc parts needed, that comes to about $900 for labor. I could live with that. Maybe I need to have Matt buy more beer? Or just more of the Youngs Double Chocolate Stout.
Edit: Parts needed:
Clutch cover gasket
Right hand side cover gasket
(2) exhaust gaskets
(2) O-rings for oil breather tube
(2) O-rings for oil feed tube on top of cams
4-5 misc copper washers (or anneal the old ones)
Barnett MT-5-4 heavy duty clutch springs
4 quarts of standard petroleum 10-40w oil
Oil filter
Misc valve shims if required.
(4) Valve cover bolt hole seals, if you have taken it off more than twice already.
I spent about $60 at the dealer the other day ordering all these parts.
