Well considering there's some people the do it cheap and don't go out ripping people off and there's others that go and purely rip people off so yeah that's where I'm at

But a Haynes book and find a decent engine machinist.

Buy and engine stand and have a go your self, loads cheaper and at least you'll know what you want done will be done, as said get a Haynes manual and do some research and get stuck in.
Ps take loads of pictures so you can look back at things if you get confused .

Its about 30 quid a journal for a regrind and shells, seals and sup gaskets are cheap and readily available.
