Default leakdown test and also valve job cost

Doing leakdown testing and wondering if ideally/realistically I should hear NO air escaping. I have a crappy tester that I don't trust the gauges on but I atleast trust it to be consistent across cylinders in it's crappyness lol.

Car is running excellently but am getting it ready for a full on dyno tune by frost and want to make sure it's tip top. Heads have about 107k miles on them so i'm thinking a valvejob may be in order anyway.

What do you think a valve job and .01 milling should run labor? Local shop quoted 350 without parts. They said they would have to research part cost.
