    When you consider that the additional parts alone: 40 new valves and guides, 14 rebuilt lifters, exhaust, intake and head gaskets, etc... associated with the head work were over $5k , not to mention $1k for the machine shop and all the labor to R&R the heads which wouldn't be required for a typical major, it was a bargain.

    Always had good service from superformance. I also use Maranello spares here in the UK. Now a great website, helpful and bloody quick shipping. (It’s where eurospares apparently get their oem parts from.)

    4 out of 10 F355 I see needs a valve job. That is an exceedingly high rate for a car.

    Ask Mini and BMW shops, probably a higher percentage there, same reasons, small stems, poor cooling

    If that's for a 355 then, yeah, apples and oranges for this thread. ;)
