humm we are taking about the same rings right? the stainless steel ones that go around each cylinder? that was the price a local shop gave me, maybe it also included their labor to pull the head, whats a good price to just get the head rresurfaced, o rings, and the springs installed, i can pull the head myself now so i dont really need to use the shop anymore

ya i like the way my tranny shifts and stuff, its the earlier 3 pin one and i have lock-up and od on switches, my valve body is also pretty good for now im just worried about the input shaft, tc, and flex plate. I already have a billet tc but its only a single disk, and i have already tore the stock flex plate out once with it.
as for the clutch packs and stuff me and a friend built my internals already and it wont cost me much to upgrade all that stuff- the parts are cheap enough

so for just a valve job, orings and springs i will say that is high.
if that is removed and installed i'd almost call it a deal because all the gaskets will run you ~$100....... then you have labor and all to add to it.....

i will say it will help, but it is a factor that has a big cost for a little return. a good port job will cost $700-$1000, it will net lower EGT's more flow through the head and more power, i can't say an exact number but there are other things that will make as much power for the same money or less.....
that being said i'm shooting for 650hp+ at the wheels so it was one of those things that i opted to get done.
also be ware that not just anyone can port a diesel head. there is more to it than just making the ports larger. the ONLY reason i am letting this guy do mine is because i KNOW he knows what he is doing....
