Vr6 cylinder head

[jazzvr]

So I've taken the head off to replace the valve stem seals and one of the valves has quite a bit of play in it. I've looked into replacing valve guides but everyone says to take it to a machine shop. How much is something like this going to cost and can they mess it up if they aren't familiar with vr6 heads?

Or does anyone have a reconditioned head for sale? Haha

all my head work cost around $500-600
That included checking, skimming, new exhaust guides, valves cut and sand blasted.
I disassembled, reassembled, installed seals, cut and lapped valve seats which saved a fair few $$
