Estimate for Heads and Cam I got an estimate of $5000.00 to port and polish the heads and a new cam for my 99 TA. Does this sound about right? Seems a bit high.

Re: Estimate for Heads and Cam Let's dissect $5000 installed for you:
Cam
Heads
Head gaskests
valve cover gaskets
timing chain cover gasket
Pushrods
I figure cam = $400, heads = $2000 (or more), and extra parts = $200 (or more). Even if we round up to $3000 for it all you you end up paying $2000 in labor.
Labor for heads AND cam should be $900-1400 depending on what is being done to the motor. If you swap the exhaust it will take them time to line everything up.
