Hi how much to skim a fzj80 4.5 head? head gasket blown

Are you asking how much to skim off or how much will it cost?

 

[alexltw]

both !
do I skim off or get another head. I have seen one all skimmed valves in etc ?
is between £700 to a 1000 about right for the whole job?

 

[OG.]

I had a pair of Rover V8 heads skimmed for £40 each. That was just the skim. Can't see yours being much different.
If you're asking how much to do the whole job then I have no idea.

Don't know where you are but I used E&J Hammond in Flintshire North Wales.
