I think you're going to need to completely rebuild the head. How many miles? And was it the original belt?

Pull the entire head. You have valves and a camshaft to replace, at the least. And you need to check the pistons.

How's the chain? You may not be able to save the head.

:(( best bet is probably sourcing a used cyl head. or if you wanna go with a rebuild do a full valve job and the ti retainer kit for high rev funs. :thumbsup:

At least you'll have clean valves :(

Did they find out why the cam seized?

$1,300 sounds very reasonable if you don't need a new head. Make sure they replace any injector seals as needed.

that's a good question. On the other hand this is the most expensive valve cleaning I've ever seen
