Not for the full head cleaning obviously and it was a slight exaggeration but to do the springs I think it was only like a 30-40 more I can’t remember I think it was $30

You can get the seals and everything from your local auto parts store

Almost everything from the local auto parts store is like 3-4 times the price it is on rock auto. I would not go to the local auto parts store unless you are in dire need. Just my opinion as I do love O'Reilly's

Much cleaner that the usual machine shop...
but takes work & time commitment...

I had these in a hot tank before I picked them up and used the parts washer. They got painted as well at the machine shop. It was supposed to be free for me which is the main reason why I did it but my girl’s dad decided he didn’t have any money when it came time to pay. Literally took me two weeks to get my heads back because he kept stalling but I won’t get into all that

I hate when they paint aluminum stuff at the machine shop.... Use this in your parts washer with 1:1 ratio. Neutralize the part when you are finished and don't leave aluminum soaking in it . It will corrode it. The parts will come out clean like shown above.
