I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee V8 that has a burned valve. That mess led me to pick up the Element. The Jeep has been awaiting its fate for over a month at a mechanic and they quoted me around $2400 to repair a burned valve, replace the head gasket and give it a valve job.
My inclination is to find a hobby-mechanic or someone who will do the work on the side. I am handy with tools but do not have the experience to take on this kind of task. I can change oil, install fog lights and intakes and haven't really tried anything else.
What is the best path to take on this kind of repair?
