Studs can be done in your driveway. In order to do rings you have to send your head into a Machine Shop that knows what there doing.

Depends on the machine shop,mine was $750.00 to do mine but that included springs and valve guides,valves..etc.I had the head o-ringed.You need to ask around for a good machine shop,word of mouth goes a long way.O-ringing the head helps to keep from blowing head gaskets.You will need help lifting the head off,they are a little heavy or a cheery picker.
