Fair price

[phil_long]

What would be a fair price to be charged for valve spring replcacement?  Thanks

[$1987 GN$]

A lot of variables there.

You supply springs, machinist supplies springs.
Valve stems are good.
New valves.
Guides are good.
Heads on the motor.
Heads off the motor.
Factory springs.
Aftermarket springs.
Machining involved.
Measured heights etc.

All depends on what you want.

I bought the valve springs already.  The guy who did my timing chain said valves are good.  Factory springs on factory heads.  Still on motor.

2.5 hours labour...plus the price of valve seals and rocker cover gaskets.

Thanks guys.  One guy shot me a price of $400, but he said it'd take ALL DAY.  Idk what "ALL DAY" means, but i recall you guys saying it can me done in under 4 hours.  Thanks for the feedback

It would take me all day and about six
DP's.

With the right tool and a woman bitching at me, I would go with Scoob's 2.5 hr

Now that just sounds like Earl

Normally 6 DPs and a spring change would take about two days + (when done right).
