less than 100, prolly not. I think the valves are 100 US from Karo with free shipping, but within 3 days I doubt you'll get anything done except shaving some thousandths off like mentioned above. That should be around 50 US, and it's a quick way to give a little more pep, but not much. The machine shop will know what is safe to shave.

When it comes to doing a little something inside the motor for under $100, your looking at pretty much nothing BUT the headgasket...you can get a Cometic MLS headgasket for about $80 but that's it. Sorry...

....Unless you know someone who will do machine work for you for free or extremely cheap to port the head.
