Make sure you check the fine print with Jasper. I'm not sure, but it might exclude motorhomes. :thumbdown:

I checked on the warrantee, thanks for the heads up, it hadn't occurred to me, but all is well, warranty covers as long as gvw doesn't exceed 17K.

It is a done deal, bought and charged for.....I go on Monday for the work. Thanks for all the advice.:rolleyes:

Chris have the head gaskets been done? Toyota in many cases has been covering head gasket replacements that may save you a LOT of labor if you have the valves done at the same time worth a try.

I am in central WI Rebuild engine Aprox 2200, labor and misc. parts (plugs, wires filter, Maybe water pump ect) 2000 or about 4200 as a rough est. HOWEVER PRICES will very by area, as overheads very greatly.

This is not a solictation for work, only a comparison

I am going to buy a rebuilt 22re in the near future, either going with Oregon Engine Rebuilders, or SunWest Automotive

Sunwest has them on sale now for $1385 for a long block with new head and RV cam

I have about a thousand miles on my sunwest and all is good. I also bought the napa kit from them that had radiator hoses, belts,and all that. I rebuilt my starter and alternator while I had them out. It's easy to take out and put in. Here I am sticking it in

and here is the mostly done engine and me rambling

$2500 for a valve job? Find a new mechanic. You can ger an excellent, new OEM head for four or five-hundred bucks or you can get the head machined, with new valves for the same price. You can get a head cheaper than that, but you get what you pay for. A decent shop can get the old head out and the new head in six to eight hours tops.

And six grand for an engine swap is super-insane.

Get some more estimates.

EDIT - I didn't see that you had a V6. Different animal than a 22re. Never mind me!

I done them on the v6 I thought it was a pita getting the crossover tube between the exhaust manifolds is a matter of some luck and skinned knuckles if you can't get it off in the veh the eng would have to be slid forward or removed and their is a bunch of stuff to come off the top, unless it would be possible to remove both Hds at the same time, anyone that says this is a piece of cake let them do it.

Seems like the result of a burnt valve can be a couple of things, a bad injector running a cylinder lean or a valve seat that wore prematurely and eventually leaked or 3 a sticking valve. Depending on mileage I think I would have opted for the valve job. Curious, is the shop going to put in new injectors? Is it known why the valve burnt?
