frown OHC heads

Hi all,

Just got the bad news that my I-6 XH has a blown head gasket. It's not major, just a small leak at the rear of the head.

I'v rung up a few places about gettin the gasket replaced, and they all reckon that i'm gonna new new head bolts, and a valve kit. Is this right?

Also while the head is off i gonna get it machined 60 thou (i think). Is there any need to get it ported/pollished, or is there anything else i should get done?

I've been quoted $560 for the gasket, bolts, valve kit, the machine job and labour froma preformance place. Is this a fair price?

Any thoughts would be welcome. Sorry about all the questions.

Thanks.
