well the guy that said he would do it for 200 is a friend of my and he used to do it for a living...he said he would gasket match the intake and exhaust ports and do something to combustion camber or something?? don't really know to much about it...but i think the other guy that told me bout this shop that will do it for 65 is full of sh*t...

Does this include head removal or just taking the heads there already removed?

Professionally done by a shop would run you over 700. If you friend screws up your heads, will he buy you new ones? I'll be the first to admit that 200 is cheap.......almost to cheap.
