That is indeed a good rate. I just had my valley pan gasket done, and had the OSV and hoses replaced while I was at it.

The breakdown was that I paid $300 for them to remove and replace the intake manifold. I brought my own parts, which was like $38 for the OSV itself, and maybe $25 for the intake manifold gaskets.

I would also make sure that they replace the 3 hoses that go with the OSV. And also while you are at it, replace the crankcase vent valve, otherwise known as the rear plate or rear cover for the intake manifold. Don't forget a new gasket for it too, and probably a new gasket for the throttle body. Its a lot easier to do that job with the intake manifold off of the car!
