Hi folks,
spoke with mechanic this morning, said valve job (changing at the same time all valve seals) with a new flex pipe would cost me about 1500$cdn + tax or about 1200$USD and would probably help with my slight oil burning and low boost (never past half yellow). Said the work would take about 16hrs, and that it is of a very loving nature. Is this more than fair? I was expecting perhaps a bit more $$$. Quote is with one valve to be replaced, extra valves are roughly 25$ a piece, could be about 75$ more than above quote if they are all faulty. Compression is 160 in 3 other cylinders... Never mentioned the injectors... could this be a big factor here? To be adressed at the same time?
Thanks for the support... this car will be worth more to me than to anyone else, looks like I will have to run it into really high miles to get a bit of bang for my bucks...
