Hi all, I bough a project GS500 and found out the valves are bent for one of the cylinders. How hard of a project would it be to get the head fixed and replaced? Anyone in SoCal have any recommended machinists or could offer any assistance, i would really appreciate it  :thumb:

A valve job should cost around $150, plus about $20 per  bent valve (correct me if I am wrong on the valve price)
