I recently pulled the head out of my 93 and sent it to the machine shop for a valve job. Head cleaned/resurfaced, valves reseated, new valve guide seals, etc. I put it back on and everything went smoothly. I'm wondering though if I should pull the valve cover back off and retorque the rocker arm bolts. Any input will be appreciated. Also, if anyone has done this and knows of anything I should keep an eye/ear out for, let me know.

How much did you end up paying for it?

For the valve job and a head-set that had all the gaskets needed (head gasket, valve cover gasket, thermostat housing gasket, exhaust/intake manifold gasket, etc) I paid $265. For real though, any input?

Wow. I just put over $400 in just PARTS all pretty much for a valve job on my dirt bike. Only replacing one valve guide but all valves.......

Anyway. I would definitley check it.

I didn't get any valves replaced, just new valve guide seals. The valves were reseated though.
