Cylinder head screws (RM150), Head gasket set with valve cover gaskets, exhaust manifold gasket and etc (about 300). Timing chain tensioner not needed la, its easy to change when its faulty (RM120). A lot less than the 1k you mentioned.  If the cams are warped, chances are his car would be misfiring by now. If there is no overheating, no need to shave and pressure test the cylinder head as well. Like he said, the bummer is the labour cost!</blockquote>
