They  should have provided an 'Itemized Billing' -

if not - request one.

Put it next to the last jobs Itemized Billing - 
and ask what specificlly brought the price
increase by $100.00 for two less cylinders etc.

Did they discover cracks & welded ?

I'd say if you provided parts and they didn't do seat replacement, 
that's
a bit on the expensive side. I can't really say if you got taken, but 
it
definitely ain't cheap!
 No Rambler mentality in that one!
