My v6 is being built by KCs engine balancing at castle hill. He took the engine and stripped it down. He said it was in reasonable condition but needed a conventional reconditioning. So I ordered new piston rings, big end and main bearings, new valves from burton power website which cost $560 inc express shipping. Also ordered a full gasket kit from ebay for $85.
Jack has resleeved the valve stems and put harder valve seats for unleaded. And new welsh plugs throughout. Below are some pics of the head before and after. I don't know the final cost of labour but should find out tomorrow and I'll let you know so you can do some comparisons.
