Did you pull the head yourself or was that all included?

o-ring job with your head off is usually in the 300 range. But you will want to have head surfaced while off. To have the whole job done o-ring surface studs and work your looking at some good money. surface 100+, o-ring 300, studs 400, labor to remove and re-install all depends on how much time the shop bills and hourly rate.
