I'm hearing excessive ticking at lower rpms and seeing oil loss at a rate of a quart every 500 miles. What is the usual course of action here? I'm guessing valve and gasket replacment but am not sure and have yet to find a reputable shop I can trust. How much does a head rebuild usually run?

Thanks for any input

minium of about $300 to do an OK job if you reuse valves/rockers etc.

Maximum?? If replacing everything (cam/rockershafts/valves/rockers/guides) and doing typical grind job and resurface.... upwards of $1200+.

I spent $1400 redoing my Korman stage II head....
