If the diagnosis is correct, then I'd look for a "MotorVac" (I think that's the name of it) shop that does carbon evec without removing the heads. They have a machine that does it, but don't ask me how.

That said, $4100 labour at $80 per is 51 hours. FIFTY ONE HOURS? TO R&R two V-8 heads? That sounds REALLY high to me. I seem to remember someone having an M119 heads R&R's for around 16 hours. Do a search...
