M42 head job = take one good head, clean and check, remove valvetrain from cracked head and transplant on good head. Skim head, if necessary. Maybe a valve job, if needed.

Do they do BMW stuff? I'm in the process of getting prices right now. VAC wants $699 for a full recondition + $100 for cams off/on.

I'm looking to do quite a bit better.

they do anything, domestic, import, foreign. they cleaned my friends head for his s52 and installed new lifters and everything. if you can give me an exact list of what you want done i can get ahold of them and get you a quote.

- Used M42 head with 2 bent valves, cleaned/checked by VAC - passed
- Cracked M42 head with valves, cams and lifters still on.
- Fix the valves on the good head (whatever that would entail).
- Remove the cams/lifters from the cracked head and install on the new head.
- Mill the head, if necessary.

Make sense?
