Question:

intake valve replacement?

does anyone know how much work it would take for a 1998 Mazda 626 (2.0L MFI DOHC) to change a bad intake valve?what work would be necessary and what kind of price are we talkin?

Answer:

What diagnosis gave you the fact that you need a cvalve changed...dis you not replace the timing belt and it bent the valves(major head repair) or did you do a compression check to determine you have bent valve (intake valves don't burn) (lesser repair)
if you have did a compression check and know for a fact that the valve is bad the head has to be removed and then checked for leakage and cracks before you install it back on,those was bad to produce small cracks between the valve guides,if it checks ok then have the valve replaced,the cost should be about 600-700 on doing this one,that was a good engine those cars had in them,good luck.
