Hi there,
You will not just be replacing the valve, you will have to get all the valves re faced and the guides checked, often the exhaust guides are worn and should be replaced, the head will have to be crack tested & surfaced, along with the gasket set, coolant oil filter, any hoses and consumables required the add on the labour it is starting to build up, it is a bit hard to place a price on the work as we don't know exactly what the job will entail until it is removed, but you will be looking at well over 1K to do this work.
