I would estimate a valve job would be about 1200-1500.

Again I ask how long will my car last like this running on 5 cylinders instead of 6?

So the cylinder is shot and needs to be replaced?

That's a hard question to answer your. Putting more of a load on the rest of the engine there is no telling how long before it gets worse.

If you only have 60psi the cylinder isn't firing and needs to be fixed. That's about all I can tell you for sure.
